Kate McKinnon wages a one-woman assault on the middling-at-best screenplay of this spy comedy. And by sheer force of will, she almost makes up for material that fairly quickly reneges on its early promise. But even someone as naturally gifted as she undoubtedly is can’t manufacture laughs just by delivering mediocre lines at high volume. McKinnon is Morgan, the best friend and sidekick to Audrey (Mila Kunis), an ordinary girl whose ex-boyfriend turns out to have been a CIA operative. Director Susanna Fogel handles the action set pieces with gusto but fails to make the chick-chat bonding moments seem like anything more than padding.
