The Spy Who Dumped Me

Here's a little sprinkle of comedy and action coming your way. Audrey (Mila Kunis) and Morgan (Kate McKinnon), two 30-year-old best friends in Los Angeles, are thrust unexpectedly into an international conspiracy when Audrey’s ex-boyfriend shows up at their apartment with a team of deadly assassins on his trail. Hey, we've all kissed a couple of frogs, right? Surprising even themselves, the duo jump into action and, on the run throughout Europe from assassins and a suspicious-but-charming British agent, they hatch a plan to save the world. Grab your girlfriends for good giggle with this one.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZsYiWBgFOk
