Surprisingly incoherent and boring
A Disappointing Continuation
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
I went with my husband. And it is definitely a women's humor movie, he did not understand why I was laughing that much.. Ha! He still enjoyed it but got only half of the jokes. Female friends went to watch it had a great time too. I am a movie lover, including action, and have seen many. This movie does not deserve the destructive reviews at all. I wonder if maybe rather men are not liking it.. I am a woman and I DID!
This is not going to be some long ass review that no one's gonna bother to read.There were multiple instances in this movie that made me laugh out loud. That's what Iook for in a comedy and that's what I got. If you wish to have to same experience I would definitely recommend you to go watch it.I really don't see how anyone cannot like this movie, it's fun.
Really glad I didn't let critics dissuade me from seeing this one. Many strikes might be called against the film, but a lack of chemistry between Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon should not be one of them. Those two are comedy magic together. The odd-couple dynamic is perhaps more a result of McKinnon's naturally irreverent energy, which is just fine; their interactions still had an organic feel amidst the film's histrionics and wild action. It was in fact their smaller, seemingly dismissible moments together that made the relationship feel genuine and identifiable. How refreshing to watch a story in which the two (female) main characters' strong bond is treated as an absolute given--it's more rare than you think (I mean, doesn't it sometimes feel like movies have trained viewers to equate character conflict with chemistry? But I digress).Beyond the two leads, the movie had a super solid cast all around. Some actors might have even been underutilized when you consider their immense acting talents...but still, gold stars to the casting director(s) for pulling together such a strong ensemble, as well as for taking a chance on a few actors otherwise known for more dramatic roles.Much of the film's weaknesses seem to be with the plot, which was a bit too uninspired and derivative even for a film that is meant to invoke (and presumably subvert?) certain spy movie tropes. But that being said, I legit laughed out loud throughout the whole film, and wouldn't mind watching it again. Going to consider that success enough.(By the way, can we please take a moment to give snaps to Sam Heughan?! I adore him already but he was fantastic; he reverses the typical Bond-girl role well and puts in a nicely understated performance ... if Hollywood doesn't scoop him up for lead roles ASAP, they're idiots.)
A frantically disorganized, nonsensical master flop that fails to use a comedic genius like Mckinnon to its advantage; and instead reduces her to an almost psychotic stalkery side-kick of a best friend to the baby-faced but less humourous Kunis. TSWDM is as forgettable, redundant, and insufferably dragging as its name.
