Modern Vespa

Lots of Scooters

Yeah....sadly not a lot of Vespas but a fun movie nonetheless.

Yes, she wasn't on one (I don't think) but plenty parked. She is a very good comic physical actress, most of her movies have not been too good. I was surprised by the good reviews and it really was not too bad at all. Sure it was a spy spoof but pretty well done.

Are the scooters just used as comic props? The only two trailers I've seen look that way.

S in the trailer above Melissa is riding one. Albeit the wrong way down a one way street and she drops it. I think their mostly props tho.

Nope, there is some fancy (not a lot) chase scenes, it's no James Bond. However, the scooter chasing the BMW is okay, and the BMW Scooter with the top, fall over is funny. The bikes are not a big part of the movie but they are here and there, more just parked as people drive by. Then again, last time in Italy I spent a good deal of time admiring parked bikes too.

Still, I think this movie was a much better (excuse me) vehicle for Melissa McCarthy, the writing was good, the filming and stunts pretty good too. However, if you are going to see "Scooters" they are not a big part of the movie.

DR good to know. I'm surprised that a number of TV shows has scooters ( a lot of Vespa's) in them. Have some screen shots of them.
