Review of Colossal (2017) by Cody S — 26 Apr 2017

I agree with Variety's Dennis Harvey... "Colossal" fails to realize its full potential.

The film's premise has lots going for it and the CG monsters are fun to watch. But the rest of the story felt awkward and a bit too seriously for its own good. I'm still trying to figure out what the overall tone of the film was supposed to be.

As for the acting... I like all the leads in the film but the characters themselves had very little likability, and the dialogue wasn't nearly funny and/or clever enough to hold my interest.

I stuck it out until the very end but was ready for it to be over long before the credits rolled.
