The new “My Spy: The Eternal City,” the sequel to the 2020 action-comedy “My Spy,” is currently the most-watched movie on Prime Video, according to FlixPatrol. The film stars Chloe Coleman and Dave Bautista, who reprise their roles from the first film.

The movie is directed by Peter Segal, known for his work on “The Naked Gun 33 ⅓: The Final Insult” and “Get Smart.” The story follows special agent JJ (Bautista) and his adopted daughter Sophie (Coleman) as they embark on a school trip to Rome, only to find themselves caught up in a plot to destroy Vatican City.

Like the first film, it blends comedy and action to create a cinematic experience for all the family. The rest of the cast also includes Kristen Schaal, Ken Jeong, Craig Robinson, and Anna Faris. Here’s what to know about the film.

What happens in ‘My Spy: The Eternal City’?

In “My Spy,” JJ was tasked with protecting Sophie, a mission that led to an unexpected bond between the tough CIA agent and the young girl. In the sequel, “My Spy: The Eternal City,” JJ is trying to strengthen his relationship with Sophie by chaperoning her high school choir trip to Italy. The choir has a special performance planned for the Pope in Vatican City, but Sophie is more focused on her dream of attending her school’s Homecoming dance with her crush, Ryan (Billy Barratt).

The movie takes a turn when Sophie’s best friend Collin (Taeho K), the son of JJ’s CIA boss David Kim (Ken Jeong), is kidnapped in Italy. This event reveals a terrorist plot that threatens the safety of Vatican City. JJ and Sophie must work together once again to save the day.

In an interview with Variety, Coleman spoke about her chemistry with Bautista, whom she has known since she was 9 years old. “I’ve grown with him over the years, and I am now 15. That’s crazy to me to have someone so special in my life for that long because even though I work with him, he is like a father figure outside of work. From day one, I knew I was gonna love him. He’s epic. He’s like a best friend,” she said.

What are critics saying about the film?

Critics have had mixed reactions to “My Spy: The Eternal City.” According to The New York Times, the film struggles with its tone, often playing its espionage elements too seriously for a teen comedy.

The Guardian echoed this sentiment, noting that while there are commendable performances, especially from Jeong and Faris, the movie’s tonal inconsistency doesn’t help.
