Of course, if The Spy Who Dumped Me doesn’t do it for her, McKinnon could always try to kick-start her big screen career by spinning off one of her own SNL characters into a movie vehicle (it worked for Mike Myers).
The Spy Who Dumped Me sounds like it could be part of the recent trend of more explicit R-rated comedies starring women.
However, The Spy Who Dumped Me writer/director Susanna Fogel’s last film, the friendship comedy Life Partners, was actually fairly low-key so we’ll have to wait and see what tone the movie is trying to strike.
If she does go this route, let’s hope she chooses Ms. Rafferty, her filthy character from the infamous UFO abduction sketch that almost killed Ryan Gosling.
