Spy

Three, 8.30pm Starring Jason Statham, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne.

Paul Feig does a great job of giving male-centric genres a much needed dose of femininity while dishing out a barrel of laughs along the way. It is based around desk-bound CIA operative Sandra Cooper (McCarthy) who is asked to go deep undercover when one of the top agents, played by a surprisingly funny Jason Statham, is compromised. McCarthy is very much the star, but she is happy to share the best lines, and as a parody of the spy film genre this has more going for it than many of the same ilk. ★★★★
