Goodrich doesn’t seem that interested in interrogating traditional gender labor distribution or in holding its protagonist accountable for his choices.

The Spy Who Dumped Me, as you may be able to tell, is a spy action/comedy that is living its best life when leaning on what sets it apart from the spy action movies it is ostensibly lampooning. As a spy movie, TSWDM is only so-so, featuring the obligatory globe-hopping location changes, "trust no one" attitude and face/heel turns the genre has worn into the ground. On the other hand, as a buddy comedy with two female leads, it soars.
