  1. The first Devil Wears Prada was certainly an artifact of the 2000s and this sequel is too, in that it's a soul-less nostalgia grab with some interesting opinions it doesn't really want to dive into.
  2. Hudson and Jackman are fine, but the movie's overwrought and, at times, irritating portrayal of disability and poverty gets old fast leaving you with the songs, which also become stagnant. Just go drunkenly sing "Sweet Caroline" in a bar for two hours.
  3. There's little to Black Phone 2 to recommend it. At nearly two hours the pacing kills any sense of momentum and the story boils down to everyone wandering in the snow looking for dead bodies. The cast is fine, but there's no meat to their characters and their performances are reflective of that.
  4. It's not that Play Dirty is a terrible movie, just a very dull one.
  5. Him
    Just shotgun a double feature of Any Given Sunday and The Devil's Advocate and you'll get the same elements told better.
