Spy (2015)

Things wrong with first 20 minutes of Spy:

1) getting British actor Jude Law to play a James Bond type with an American accent
2) Miranda Hart playing a British character that says "jackass"
3) Jason Statham playing a British character who pronounces 'twat' 'twot' and claims it doesn't mean vagina in England.
4) Essentially being an I Spy remake
5) Not being funny

I was right about 4 (though they swapped the character twists) and 5 continued through the whole movie (though Statham was pretty funny).

Apart from "not funny" Spy's problem is it wants almost every character to be an elite spy yet useless and an arsehole yet someone to root for
