I think the look is part of the film, want to check out. 9 /10 Poppy Delevingne! The acting and production was done in this way. It's done purposely. Enjoy every bit of it. Some of my favorite actors in this one and it's so funny. Clever scriptwriting and you have to give it to the director he sure got so many people mad on here for some reason lol. 19 out of 20 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

Some of the scenes feel like theatre scenes (hilarious ones at that) and there are many nods to classic movie scenes. Loved the commentary on suburbia and the grind of daily life. Loved the original atmospheric soundtrack. It's a fun watch! 17 out of 18 found this helpful. 8 /10 Funny Really entertaining film. Spy Intervention had a bit of everything from humor, action and some good acting. A great weekend film to watch with friends and family. 6 /10 Tongue in cheek What you need to have in mind when watching this movie is that it's a spoof and is all very tongue in cheek. It should not be taken seriously. Sure, the acting isn't great, but it isn't supposed to be. The leads both absolutely looked the part, there were some amusing support roles and the style was nicely observed. As a movie, it never quite took off for me and I never detected any real chemistry between the leads. But it is amusing, the bowling scenes with the cardboard salesman and the dancing at the dinner party were highlights for me. The line "A>B>C, Always be cardboard" had me laughing out loud. No classic, but not a complete dud either. Seriously Funny Didn't know what to expect but we loved it! Brittany Furlan killed it, shes hilarious. This movie isn't meant to be taken seriously, its a comedy. 16 out of 17 found this helpful. It's funny - take a joke I think people are being a little harsh here. The film is seriously funny. Clever humor at that and the acting wasn't the best but still worth a watch. 19 out of 21 found this helpful. This is a safe place Warning: Spoilers This is a mindless "spy" comedy/spoof. Corey (Drew Van Acker) is a top agent who lets a target getaway when he bumps into Pam (Poppy Delevingne). Corey is smitten and decides to give up the glamorous life of an international spy to sell cardboard boxes, bowl, and fix up their house with track lighting for dinner parties. Pam wants lots and lots of dinner parties. His former spy group kidnaps married man and holds an intervention. They convince him to go on one last mission, to have closure and get Egan (Max Silvestri) and his plans for a bomb or a laser or something that is bad. Corey has to balance his home life, work, spy work, and bowling while having a fake spy wife (Natasha Bassett) This is a fun film that uses silly spy cliches and has good characters. Not an overpowering film, but good. Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity. 17 out of 19 found this helpful. Had a good laugh Not to sure what all the bad reviews are about but the film wasn't bad at all. It's a hilarious movie we had some great laughs.

Quirky and hilarious! Not what I well worth the watch! It took a little while to really understand the film, but it was totally worth watching it through. This movie is clearly lower budget but it leans into that fact and it ends up with a quirky yet hilarious parody of the old school spy movies (very 60s Batman and Get Smart meets Wes Anderson). The widescreen scenes are very real and heartfelt while the 4:3 scenes are so full of satire and so well made. The way the actors interact with this outlandish world and these silly gadgets kept us laughing the whole way through. 15 out of 21 found this helpful. Entertaining spoof We found this movie quite entertaining, with goofy characters and funny scenes. The lighthearted approach was enhanced by interesting production design and fine editing. Obvious talent at work here. 16 out of 25 found this helpful. 1 /10 is SO bad! I made it just a few minutes in before I slapped myself and said "why in the hell am i watching this"? The acting is plot pathetic. How did this ever make it to film? Please do yourself a favor - don't waste your time by even starting this. 22 out of 41 found this helpful. not a real movie. It is a cheap Wes Anderson knockoff of a B movie. But fun to watch anyway. Kudos to the design team. 15 out of 27 found this helpful. Waste of time with fake reviews Low budget crap, bad acting, crappy effects and scenes with self reviewing crappy cast and production members. See "Tell your friends" review. This have to be banned from existence. 21 out of 41 found this helpful. Good Laughs from this Seen it with some friends and yes at times it gets lost but in all it's mad funny and they had some hilarious moments in there we couldn't stop laughing. A movie you'd watch for fun 2 out of 2 found this helpful. Such a fun romp! I loved what a fun movie this is! It is so incredibly unique compared to other movies out there. The movie is laugh out loud funny. I credit a lot of the laughs to Brittany Furlan and that spoof dance scene. But seriously, this movie gave me real Wes Anderson vibes with all the models and the kooky over the top spy world. Definitely worth a watch. 20 out of 43 found this helpful. A breath of fresh air gvwln 15 February 2020 Not expecting too much from this I really got surprised. This spy movie with a wink is fun to watch and something different from what we usually get served up by the big Hollywood productions. The special effects are brilliant. someone really got their hands dirty on those (I know how difficult plastic glue is to get off). A movie that'll make you laugh, unless your sense of humour has packed its bags and gone off on a spontaneous trip to, let's say, Kathmandu. So don't hesitate, grab yourself a domestic beer and sit back and enjoy, it's really worth the watch. 15 out of 31 found this helpful. 5 /10 Boring af Seen 15 minutes before saying enough is enough. Really boring stuff, really looks more like a school project than an actual movie. 14 out of 30 found this helpful. Funny and different! We laughed a lot!! My wife an I just finished watching this film and we really loved i! It is very different than what we expected but in a cool way where we found ourselves really loving the characters. My wife laughed a lot especially at Brittany who plays the friend my wife remembers having when she was younger. The cast is pretty but that was just a bonus. I would definitely recommend watching it! 15 out of 33 found this helpful. actually, they are all spies Just like you and me, in our trivial pursuit, for gollop and gossip, toput ourself on the list of the top 10 by the fence, speaking to your horrendously beutiful neighbour that youve eventually spied on for years with increasingly larger binocullars, to unbutton the real truth behind the sheet of cloth... well this film is as confusing as what ive just written should make sense to you and everyone else, but a spy flick it is, pretty much on turbo injection, it has its bores and flaws, but also some brilliantly made comedy here and there. its a mockingly take on the spy trade, with lots of inspiration from jens bond to mission impassible, where the glitchfree moneyspenders are the tough guys, and all the others, like we live our lives in a cardbox called mariage or what ever... its a comedy (full stop), with a score that feels like a spine in the buttocks, special effect at star wars episode one level, with a goal to harras all the english speaking population of the earth, me not included cause im norwegian hipp hipp hurra for det!!! otherwise its fast paced, there arent a moment of standstill and bore, and im sure itll only smear the tastebuds of just half the population of potential viewers. i the grumpy old man though, had a neat moment watching, a few giggles here and there, not top notched but still a passable recommend 18 out of 42 found this helpful. Tell your friends From the opening sequence, you get sucked into this super kitschy world. The movie uses such strong visuals to juxtapose the spy world, which is a world built of all models to the real world with Pam, which is a soft, muted, grounded world. The story is a little heavy-handed on the tropes, but strangely enough, it works. 17 out of 47 found this helpful. Really fun, unique Sweet movie with little pops of comic fantasia that put a smile on my face and made me laugh. All the actors buy in hard on the quirky tone and deliver. Brittany Furlan, Poppy Delevigne, and Dave Sheridan stand out. Thanks for something fun and different! 1 out of 1 found this helpful. Permalink.
