The Spy Who Dumped Me

Two thirtysomething best friends lead ordinary lives until a casual night at their apartment erupts into chaos. Audrey, an aspiring professional with big dreams, runs into her ex Drew and suddenly a deadly pursuit comes knocking with trained killers on their tail. What begins as an awkward reunion spirals into a web of espionage, secret identities, and high stakes that pull them across borders and into perilous situations. They dodge gunfire, decode clues, and improvise clever escapes while keeping each other sane. As the pressure mounts they discover hidden reserves of courage and resourcefulness, turning a routine night into a startling test of loyalty, friendship, and unexpected bravery.

Directed by Susanna Fogel, The Spy Who Dumped Me is an original screenplay by Fogel and David Iserson. It released in 2018 with Lionsgate distributing and a marketing push around a female led buddy action comedy.

The film earned $33,562,069 worldwide against a budget of $40,000,000, a result widely viewed as modest for a mid range studio comedy released in late summer.

The film sits among late 2010s comedies that spotlight women in action driven stories. Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon bring zippy energy to their characters, sparking discussions about female friendship under pressure and contributing to the conversation around women led adventures in mainstream cinema.

Critics offered mixed responses, praising the performers and the sharp banter while noting flaws in the plotting. The movie examines resilience, improvisation in dangerous situations, and the appeal of turning danger into humor. It remains a bright, energetic example of playful espionage on screen that sticks with you after the credits roll.
