Could have been great but the chemistry bt the stars is lacking and the witty banter is not enough to cover the weak story. cant hold a candle to the original. I didn't want to be disappointed but I was.

With a cast including Oscar winner Olivia Colman, the always excellent Benedict Cumberbatch, and hilarious Kate McKinnon, you would expect this to be a laugh-a-minute movie. Those expectations would not be met by this inane, poorly written, never believable film. How the director got such poor performances from such stellar actors is a mystery. If I could have rated this abomination with a half star, I would have.

Disappointing all round. Colman and Cumberbatch come across as cold and charmless, and their sarcastic banter quickly becomes tiresome. There's no chemistry between them, and even the flashback to their 'first date' is wooden and unconvincing. As the plot unfolds, Colman's character becomes full-on nasty. Lots of F-bombs and C-bombs are dropped, for example during a dinner-party scene, presumably for comedic effect, but it's a cheap play. Maybe with different characters this film would have worked? Who knows.
