My Spy

Right now you can watch My Spy in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. With 1,395 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Dave Bautista — stay for everyone else around them. Put it on tonight on Stan and see for yourself.

There is a reason My Spy keeps coming up in conversation. My Spy does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A hardened CIA operative finds himself at the mercy of a precocious 9-year-old girl, having been sent undercover to surveil her family. The chemistry Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2020. My Spy earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in My Spy. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Dave Bautista is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
