Critic Consensus
Critical reception for The Spy Who Dumped Me is mixed to moderate, with most reviewers finding it a passable but flawed entertainer. Kate McKinnon is singled out repeatedly as a standout performer, with several critics noting she carries much of the film's comedic energy, while the chemistry between the two leads is also acknowledged. The most consistent criticism across reviews is the film's failure to commit to a single genre, leaving it neither a fully satisfying comedy nor a convincing spy thriller. Pacing and runtime are additional concerns, with some subplots seen as tedious and the humor noted as inconsistent.

Updated“While Mila Kunis is an actor with good comic timing of her own, it's Kate McKinnon who walks away with the film.”Read full review ↗
“The run-time doesn't work in its favour at this point, especially as some sub-plots become tedious, drawing your attention away from the main story. While its grittier than your average chick flick, the biggest drawback in 'The Spy Who Dumped Me' is that it doesn't commit to one genre. There's not enough action or intrigue that comes with a spy flick which becomes problematic when the humour fails to land. Still, there's a lot of fun to be had with some surprises and enough laughs to keep you reasonably entertained.”Read full review ↗
“The main attraction for this movie is the two lead stars, Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, who share a really good chemistry.”Read full review ↗
“Mounted with excellent production values, the film has its moments of brilliance and cliches, which does offer a midlist, escapist journey, over all.”Read full review ↗
“It's a glimpse into a world where Kate McKinnon is let out of her cage. Watch it for her and to understand how to compliment women.”Read full review ↗
“The most unexpected aspect of this film, though, is all the violence and point-blank shootings, which one wouldn't typically associate with an otherwise frothy film. Shock value arising from these moments adds an added layer of dark comedy, and that's fundamentally where the problem lies – the film's inability to commit to one genre.”Read full review ↗
