When Spies Sing is a 2008 French spy comedy.

action

The two French secret agents Muriel and Philippe are supposed to get a USB stick with secret information about a car accident. The deceased driver's widow is an ambitious opera singer and doesn't know she owns the stick. So they both sneak into her singing class to get closer to her. They are confronted with different characters and types that complicate their search.

criticism

“Humorous mix of spy film and romantic comedy. In the cunning storyline, the agent story is pushed more and more into the background until it reports back with a surprising showdown. "

“The history of espionage fades more and more into the background. Rather, Cohen sends his characters in a humorous and cynical way in search of their personal happiness. The difficulties of interpersonal relationships, the protagonists' own doubts and wishes lead to a confused mess that only dissolves at the end of the film. "

- ARTE

“Open-hearted, funny, wonderfully neurotic. [...] Really confused, but nice, crazy and sexy "
