The Spy Who Dumped Me arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in The Spy Who Dumped Me land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A couple of thirtysomething best friends unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one’s ex-boyfriend shows up at their apartment with a team of deadly assassins on his trail. The chemistry Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2018. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and The Spy Who Dumped Me holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, The Spy Who Dumped Me is a strong candidate. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Mila Kunis's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
