Well, this film wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not saying it was good but it could have been worse.
Audrey (Mila Kunis) is going through a bad break-up after her ex, Drew (Justin Theroux) abruptly leaves her after a year of dating. Turns out, he works for the CIA and one of the items left in her apartment contains a flash drive with some top secret information on it.
Fortunately, she's not in the fight for her life alone. She has her best friend, Morgan Freeman (Kate McKinnon), with a poor choice of names. It's supposed to be a joke but it falls horribly flat.
There are twists and turns throughout as the two run around Europe (though how they can afford this is beyond me as both have minimum wage jobs) trying not to get killed, unsure of who to trust. Turns out, Drew is actually one of the bad guys as the flash drive doesn't have important information on it, well, it does but not the sort of information that can save lives.
Audrey is finally doing something worthwhile with her life and she dumps Drew this time around, just as he deserved.
However, the most important aspect of the film to me was the strong friendship between Morgan and Audrey and how Morgan had no problem whatsoever with not wanting a serious relationship. McKinnon did a great job of portraying her and Kunis wasn't bad either. Unfortunately, the supporting characters were flat and underdeveloped and the plot was terribly weak with too many plot twists to keep track. Still, not the worst way to spend an evening. Grade: B-
