The Spy Who Dumped Me is a fairly descriptive Title. Audrey gets dumped by Drew only to find out that Drew is a spy. Not only that, Drew needs Audrey to deliver a package (in the form of a fantasy-football-league trophy, no less) to someone in Vienna. He’s shot before he can give her details, like what her contact might look like. So, Audrey is off with her best friend, Morgan, to Vienna. It just so happens that they have their passports in their glove box, so they can basically go straight to the airport.
If you’ve seen other movies with unwilling spies, you could probably figure out how the movie will unfold. Morgan and Audrey have no idea what they’re doing, no idea of who to trust and are put in several dangerous situations. Somehow, they manage to survive and do what’s best.
Had I not had MoviePass, I probably would have skipped this one. I really don’t think I would have missed anything. I don’t feel like the movie did much that was new or different. There were a few good jokes, but most of those were in the first half of the movie.
The movie seems to take a certain number of liberties. For instance, I’ve always wondered how someone could get on an international flight so easily. It was a bit of a stretch that the two main characters happened to have their passports available. According to the US State Department, they wouldn’t need a visa to go to Vienna if they’re staying under 90 days, but they still had to pay for the ticket, which probably weren’t that cheap at the last minute.
Morgan also seems to have a very big skill set. Given all of the things she claimed she could do, I assumed she might have been exaggerating. However, she did seem to actually know Edward Snowden and was able to handle herself on the trapeze. (Even though she was telling the truth a few times, it’s difficult to tell where she draws the line.)
To say that the movie was better than I expected would be an understatement. Plotwise, it was almost exactly what I expected. Even though there were no real surprises, it was at least entertaining. While I don’t think the trailers give away the entire plot, I don’t think anyone will be surprised coming out of the movie.
