In the film, Foxx and Diaz play former CIA spies pulled back into the world of espionage after their secret identities are exposed.

And while some X users aren't loving the movie, everyone seems ready to welcome Diaz back to their screens.

The reactions are largely the same on Bluesky. "While it's not a great film, Back In Action has brought Cameron Diaz back to the screen, and for that, we should be thankful," wrote‪ @bradmilne79.bsky.social‬.

@kae-ashanty.bsky.social said‬, "Back in Action is pretty good so far. Farfetched, but it's working, lol. Kind of funny, too. Glad to see Cameron Diaz back on the screen."

And @frizfrizzle.bsky.social‬ posted, "Never have I seen a movie oscillate between being 1/10 and 10/10. Nice to see Cameron Diaz doing a movie, but, my gosh, the script and direction [are] equal part ridiculous as [they are] sane."

Critics echo these sentiments, enjoying Diaz's comeback more than the film itself. "While [Back in Action] might prove that Diaz still possesses that same particular magic, it also shows that she should be far more discerning with how she chooses to share it," said The Guardian's Benjamin Lee.

And the Associated Press' Jocelyn Noveck wrote, "Back in movies after more than a decade, Diaz retains her easy charm and has chemistry with Foxx. But this doesn't mean their lines are funny or logical. Often, they are neither."

"I didn't think I was gonna make another movie," she says in a Still Watching Netflix video. "I was perfectly happy just living my life, doing other things, like, day in and day out, not movies. And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx. And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx, when he says, 'Hey, I've got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.' If there's anyone I'm gonna go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie. And here we are, back in action."
