Jason Statham, Director Paul Feig, and Bobby Cannavale on the rooftop of Austin’s “Market” during SXSW 2015
Yes, we know we are only a few months into the year, but SPY is truly one of the funniest spoofs we’ve seen in a long time. Virtually no stereotype is left unscathed by this quick-witted action drama starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale. The mishaps that follow their characters from Paris to Rome to Budapest help define this as an “action-comedy hybrid” with excellent reviews. Melissa McCarthy excels as the heroine, and we see the (very) humorous side of Jason Statham. Paul Salfen interviews Jason Statham and Director Paul Feig.
