My Spy: The Eternal City Review: A Hugely Bland Sequel
Was there seriously anybody out there that was rooting for a sequel to Pete Segal's My Spy to get made? I'm willing to bet that the answer to that is no. Not only was it one of the most forgettable films of 2020 (a year that was anything but forgettable), but it was also a film that didn't seem to warrant being turned into a franchise but alas, here we are and the result is as expected. Segal's sequel My Spy The Eternal City is more or less a heaping offering of basically the same exact elements from the first film but even worse.
The budget on this thing feels significantly smaller and it seems as though the cast - namely Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman - didn't want to be doing this thing at all. While not a great film by any means, at least the first My Spy felt like a movie where the lead stars were having a blast with everything. But in Eternal City, it feels painfully like the two actors couldn't care less about returning to their roles.
The premise of My Spy: The Eternal City revolves around JJ being persuaded to accompany Sophie on her school trip to Italy. What starts as a seemingly innocent educational journey quickly spirals into chaos as they find themselves embroiled in a convoluted terrorist plot. The picturesque backdrop of Rome serves as the setting for their misadventures, but even the stunning scenery cannot save the film from its disjointed narrative and uninspired execution.
From the very beginning, the plot feels forced and contrived. The transition from a school trip to a high-stakes espionage mission lacks coherence. This makes it difficult for the audience to suspend disbelief. The screenplay struggles to balance the comedic elements with the seriousness of a terrorist threat. This results in a tonal inconsistency that undermines the film's overall impact.
Dave Bautista reprises his role as JJ, the gruff yet lovable CIA agent. While Bautista's physicality and charisma remain intact, his character lacks the depth and development needed to sustain interest. JJ's interactions with Sophie, played by Chloe Coleman, are meant to be the emotional core of the film. However, their chemistry feels forced this time around. Coleman's Sophie, who was once endearing and witty, now comes across as overly precocious and less relatable.
Kristen Schaal returns as Bobbi, JJ's eccentric tech-savvy colleague. Schaal's comedic timing is one of the few saving graces of the film. She provides occasional laughs amidst the otherwise dull narrative. Ken Jeong's portrayal of David Kim, JJ's superior, is underwhelming. His character is reduced to a series of unfunny one-liners and clichéd reactions.
The action scenes, while competently choreographed, lack the excitement and intensity needed to keep audiences engaged. The stakes never feel genuinely high, and the predictability of the plot robs the action of any real suspense. The film's climax, set against the backdrop of iconic Roman landmarks, feels rushed and uninspired.
The cinematography by Larry Blanford captures the beauty of Rome, with its historic architecture and vibrant streets. It's a visually appealing backdrop. However, the picturesque setting feels wasted on a film that lacks substance and creativity. The scenic shots, while visually pleasing, do little to enhance the overall viewing experience.
Overall:
My Spy: The Eternal City is a hugely bland sequel. It'll surely fail to win over fans of the first. Despite the efforts of its talented cast, the film is hampered by a weak script, uneven pacing, and uninspired direction. The blend of comedy and action falls flat, resulting in a forgettable cinematic experience.

Original Penguin Golf Launches Spring 2023 Collections
#BeAnOriginal
Original Penguin Golf® by Munsingwear®, a division of Perry Ellis International, is pleased to announce the launch of the Spring 2023 Golf collections for men and women showcasing dynamic prints, classic styling and technically advanced fabrics.
“Original Penguin is a true modern classic brand, trusted during play and preferred after the game is over,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “For over 60 years, it has been a symbol for those who know how to be an original. The Spring 2023 collections reinforce our commitment to authenticity and heritage while embracing our passion for the good times.”
“For the Spring 2023 collection, we dug deep into the Munsingwear archives of the 70s and 80s and recreated several of the original prints and patterns while incorporating modern fabrications,” said Lupe Benitez, Senior Vice President of Design. “Our fabrics are superior high-gauge knits with cooling touch, dull polyester and elastane blends all utilizing ventilation, recycled yarn and eco-friendly finishes. These new designs also come with a new modern tailored fit, both sophisticated and trim yet roomy enough to swing uninhibited.” Highlights of the Men’s Spring 2023 collection include:
● New heritage polos with an enlarged Pete emblem
● Seersucker printed shorts and new hybrid board shorts
● Graphic tees inspired by Munsingwear archive illustrations
The Women’s collection is inspired by psychedelic and carefree style of the 60s and 70s. Feminine Original Penguin touches are key such as cutout details across the body on top silhouettes with semi-sheer meshes, taping and heritage piping to create pops of unexpected color. Fabrics are lux high gauge dull recycled yarns with elastane, 4-way lightweight wovens and 8-way stretch jersey. Performance and comfort details include moisture-wicking, UPF Protection, Primaloft insulation, built-in tummy control, and soft elastic gripper tape on bottoms. Highlights of the women’s collection include:
● Veronica performance polos, dresses and sun protection outerwear
● Essential Heritage color block skorts
● Abstract, geo printed and retro floral polos and skorts
Original Penguin and Pete the Penguin have left their mark on a league of legends. For over 60 years, its namesake bird-adorned apparel has been adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define an American classic. Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a symbol for those who know how to be an original.

Hi Gia! Very interested in what you consider the ideal divorce canon, if you already have a curated list. The messier and more fractious the better :)
hello!!! i am extremely honored to receive this ask, because it means i've cemented my reputation as the divorce gal on the internet. i am working on a comprehensive list of divorce and divorce-adjacent films/tv episodes, but i'll give you a little taste of some of my personal favorites, in no particular order:
- alan alda and jane fonda's storyline in california suite (1978). my firm stance on neil simon is that he should only be allowed to write biting, nasty divorce banter, and this checks that box perfectly! the aesthetics are gorgeous too, so you get a good heap of divorce with some beautiful cinematography, and the scenes between the two of them are really a bisexual's (my) dream
-pete n' tillie (1972) - while this film is pretty obscure, and doesn't contain outright divorce, i think it contains some really excellent depictions of marital struggles, and the whole idea of 'marrying before you get too old.' there are a couple blow-ups and talk of divorce, but the movie does end happily, so if you're a fan of messy endings, this may not be the one for you. i personally consider this movie one of my all-time faves, for sentimental reasons, but also because i like to see resentful, messy relationships with a sappy ending
-gilda (1946) - alright. so this one contains the exact opposite of divorce, but the reason i include this film is because the marriage in the film is used as a reason to stay separated. without spoiling the plot, i just feel that light switch on in my eyes throughout the movie, with its themes of infidelity, marital struggles, and of course, the reverse marriage and its entrapment. it's really quite brilliant that they use marriage as the source of pain, rather than divorce!
-who's afraid of virginia woolf? (1966) - this is another film that doesn't contain outright divorce, but the marriage in it is so sickening, so messy, and so downright horrible, it deserves to be on this list. this is an intense watch, so be prepared to watch relationships get destroyed. it contains my favorite themes of infidelity and corruption as well, and is an excellent divorce-adjacent watch, as well as a must-watch for any film buff, in my humble opinion
-the four seasons (1981) - this is my current blog header, so it makes sense i'd have to include it. while the movie is not centered around divorce, one of the main characters gets divorced and finds a new girlfriend, which causes tension within the friend group and strains the other couples' relationships. this is a really beautifully executed movie, focusing more on how the relationships between the characters fluctuate, but it's fair to say that divorce is also a large topic in this movie, and i think the way alan alda handled the topic was really absolute bliss (i stole that line from donald sutherland)
as for some other divorce movies i can't add to my personal favorite list, due to the fact that they are really not good™, i would say divorce hers (1973), i will, i will... for now (1976), robert altman's HEALTH (1980) and a wedding (1978), and blume in love (1973) are all movies worth checking out, if only for the star power of the casts (carol burnett, elliott gould, george segal, and elizabeth taylor to name some), and that good, old-fashioned 'new hollywood marital struggle' theme. i will definitely be trying to get my divorce list out as fast as possible, especially because i want to add some tv episodes into this mix, but i would consider this a pretty solid starter pack!
happy viewing to you, and all the other divorce nuts out there! ❤️🔥
