#finnish backpacker

So, 11 months ago I crawled out of the pool and went to see a matinee showing of The Spy Who Dumped Me. Yay, Sam! 🎉

I really liked the movie, and told me ol’ pals @saint-hildegard-of-bingen and @wherethepupsare I would write and share a review with them soon. Luckily they know soon is a relative term in my world. 😎 Since that fine August afternoon, I’ve forgotten more than I remember about the movie. Oops. 😬 I do remember my three favourite scenes and my three favourite lines. Yay, me! 🎉

Favourite Scenes

Audrey’s mismanaging the “stick” after she and Morgan steal the car in Vienna

Recognizing Outlander’s Reverend Wakefield as Prague’s Tom-the-Bad-Spy

Sebastians’s 🇨🇦 lapel pin on his Canadian Ambassador undercover tuxedo in Berlin

Favourite Lines

Sebastian’s saying “Go Crimson” to Dispatch after Duffer is incapacitated in Prague

The Finnish Backpacker's reaction to Morgan, Audrey, and Sebastian’s greeting in the Amsterdam hostel

Sebastian’s remarking “No one remembers what Canadians look like” while unlocking Duffer’s phone on boat in Amsterdam

Because I laughed often, relaxed completely in my oversize leather recliner, didn’t spill my Coke or choke on my popcorn, and thoroughly enjoyed Sam’s performance, I give The Spy Who Dumped Me 🛶🛶🛶🛶 out of 5.

Someday I’ll tell you how seeing a movie in a theatre has changed since March 4, 2007 (The Queen)…
