Loved the concept "the screens are talking over" but Pixar failed in showcasing in the trailer that the plot was more about Bonnie being "special" because at age 9, she still plays with toys and therefore has no friends. So mom and dad get her a tablet to make friends online.
Thanks Pixar for putting that thought into my 5 year olds brain. If I had known that, not sure I would have brought my kid to see it.
Also, so much texting between the kids on screen! I felt like I was narrating half the film to my 5 year who can't read . So thanks for that too I guess.
"Miranda hangs up her own coat now?"
I knew nothing would come close to the original so for all intents and purposes, the movie was great. I understand why Miranda couldn't be the Miranda from the first film but I felt myself craving more "that's all" and "gird your loins" moments.
They did a good job of taking what could have been a storyline all on its own - layoffs in the time of consolidation and AI - and put it in The Devil Wear's Prada world.
All in all, if you loved the first, this film feels like some much needed nostalgia and fun closure.
Glen Powell + Mrs. Doubtfire + Football = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Anything with Glenn Powell I'll see, even if he's an animated fox. But in all seriousness, my kids loved it. A bit scary at the beginning for my 5 year old but overall a fun movie with plenty of call backs for millennial parents.
