Colossal (2017)
Rated R
Starring Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis
Written and Directed by Nacho Vigalondo
The Story:
Gloria (Hathaway) moves back to her hometown and spends most of her days in a drunken haze. When reports of a giant monster terrorizing Seoul are on the news, Gloria realizes that somehow, some way, she is responsible.
So if you think that sounds like a good idea for a film, you're partially correct.
There were things in this film that did work, but they were few and far between.
My biggest disappointment was the characterization of Oscar (Sudeikis). He grew up with Gloria, clearly has a thing for her, but by the mid-to-end of the film, is just a big douche.
No real explanation for it, unless you go back to the flashback of when they were kids, and he did something really mean.
But it's too far out in left field, and way too contrived to make sitting through this one worthwhile.
I was going to give it a pass, barely, but I've changed my mind mid-review.
