Breakfast All Day movie reviews

It's s super-stylish Saturday here at Breakfast All Day. We took Friday off to honor the May Day work stoppage, but we're back to kick off your weekend. Here's what we reviewed: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Twenty years later, everyone's back at Runway magazine, but Runway magazine is a shell of its former self. This is a sad movie about the state of modern journalism, but the clothes are still fun. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt star. This one's gonna be huge. In theaters. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006). Of course we had to go back and review the original film, which was a massive, crowd-pleasing hit that remains infinitely meme-able. It's the definition of the breezy, escapist rom-com. The sequel is very different. HOKUM. Adam Scott goes to Ireland and stays in a charming, countryside inn. Weird things start happening. Writer-director Damian McCarthy's film is a trip, and Scott is great in it. In theaters. MILE END KICKS. We both loved this romantic comedy, which takes place in the cool Montreal neighborhood of Mile End. Barbie Ferreira stars as a young music critic who moves to the city in the summer of 2011 to cover its indie rock scene. From writer-director Chandler Levack. In theaters.

It's an absolutely packed episode a week away from the Oscars. We're playing some catch-up with nominees and we've got one monster of a new release. Here's what we have for you: THE BRIDE! That exclamation point says it all. Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal's wild and bold update of "The Bride of Frankenstein" mixes tones and genres in a way that's dividing critics (including us). Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale co-star. In theaters. THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB. The last of the five nominees in the best international feature category for us to discuss here. Tunisian filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania mixes the real-life audio of a 5-year-old Palestinian trapped in a car in Gaza with actors playing the emergency operators on the other end of the line. We don't agree on this film, either, but it has moved many audiences deeply. Available for online rental. THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR. Nominated for best documentary feature, this Netflix film is composed entirely of deputies' body cam footage of a neighborhood where a deadly shooting ripped the multicultural community apart. We think this is the front-runner for the Academy Award, if only because it's probably the one most people saw (plus, it's great). Streaming now. MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. Russian school teacher Pavel Talankin bravely documents Putin's propagandist efforts to indoctrinate young minds at the start of the Ukraine invasion. You come to really care about him and the kids in his care, particularly the teens who are facing an uncertain future. This is also up for the best documentary feature Oscar. Available for online rental. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Another busy week between early reactions to "The Bride!", HBO Max and Paramount + merging into one streaming platform, Daryl Hannah's op-ed about how she's portrayed in Ryan Murphy's "Love Story," the "Little House on the Prairie" reboot, and Catherine O'Hara's posthumous Actor Award.

We're taking care of business here at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed for you on our latest episode: EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT. Baz Luhrmann digs through the archives to find 59 hours of never-before-seen footage from Elvis Presley's Las Vegas run. The results are thrilling. Whether or not you're a massive Elvis fan, you'll come away with an appreciation for his singular showmanship: They don't call him The King for nothing. Playing exclusively in IMAX for the next week (which is really how you should see it) before opening on more screens Feb. 27. NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE. So many of our viewers asked us to review this, and we're so glad we did. The cult-favorite Canadian web series is now a full-length feature film. Longtime friends and collaborators Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol are still scheming to book a gig at the Rivoli in Toronto. You don't need to know a single thing about this show to enjoy this energetic time-travel comedy. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! Lots to discuss as always, including the deaths of Robert Duvall, Frederick Wiseman and Eric Dane. Plus: Stephen Colbert standing up to CBS, and the trailer for "The Mandalorian and Grogu."

Life is like a jam-packed, extremely random box of chocolates on this week's episode of Breakfast All Day. Here's what we reviewed: WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Emerald Fennell's 14-year-old-girl fanfic version of the classic Emily Brontë novel is high on style but low on substance. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie are a gorgeous Heathcliff and Cathy, but there's not much tension between them. See it for the dresses, though. In theaters. GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. An inspired title for a blast of a movie. Gore Verbinski's time-travel action comedy is zany, but it also has something serious to say about our reliance on technology. (Podcasts are OK, though.) Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Juno Temple, Zazie Beets and Michael Peña star. In theaters. CRIME 101. A well-crafted, well-acted LA noir in the spirit of "Heat." Chris Hemsworth stars as a jewel thief hitting targets along the 101 freeway. Mark Ruffalo is the police detective on his tail. Halle Berry is an insurance broker who gets caught up in his scheme. One of us liked this a lot more than the other. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE. Two weeks in a row! We're getting back to normal. Among the topics we discussed were the Spirit Awards this weekend, performers leaving Casey Wasserman's talent management company, the Winter Olympics, and the deaths of James Van Der Beek and Bud Cort. Join us at our YouTube channel Fridays at Noon Pacific. Enjoy yourself this Valentine's Day weekend! Thanks for sharing some of it with us.

We're coming to you on a Saturday for a change because we took part in Friday's national shutdown to protest ICE. We realize it's a small contribution, but we hope every little bit of action or awareness helps. Here's a quick episode of Breakfast All Day to keep you company over the weekend: REMEMBERING CATHERINE O'HARA: We're heartbroken over the loss of this comedy legend. O'Hara died Friday at age 71 after decades of incredible, consistent work. There was no one like her and there never will be. We discuss her varied career here and ponder the impossible question: What's your favorite Catherine O'Hara performance? Let us know. THE MOMENT. Charli xcx blows up the idea of the pop-star concert film, as well as Brat summer, with this shrewd and satirical mockumentary. The British singer-songwriter plays a version of herself alongside Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette and Kylie Jenner. This got mixed reviews of of Sundance last week, but we enjoyed it. In theaters. Thanks for sharing some of your weekend with us! Subscribe to Christy's Saturday Matinee newsletter: https://christylemire.beehiiv.com/

It's Oscar nominations week, so we're playing catch up as well as slogging through some extremely January movies. We recorded these reviews before Thursday's Academy announcement, so we have a couple of updates for you: Amanda Seyfried didn't get a nomination for "The Testament of Ann Lee," but "Come See Me in the Good Light" did make it into the documentary feature category. Here's what we discussed: MERCY. Chris Pratt is a police detective accused of killing his wife in a futuristic hellscape of Los Angeles. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) or he'll be executed. We debate exactly what this Amazon release is propaganda for, but agree that it (and Pratt) are terrible. In theaters. THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. Amanda Seyfried IS Ann Lee, found of the Shaker religious movement, in director and co-writer Mona Fastvold's ambitious musical. This had a brief awards run at the end of 2025 and is returning to theaters this weekend. The song and dance numbers are mesmerizing. COME SEE ME IN THE GOOD LIGHT. The late poet Andrea Gibson is the subject of this intimate documentary, which is alternately hilarious and heartbreaking but always stirring. Director Ryan White follows the genderqueer Gibson and their partner as they navigate a lengthy and painful cancer battle, but there's plenty of room for humor and even hope. Streaming on Apple TV.

We're taking a trip to The Bone Temple this week on Breakfast All Day, but don't worry. Ralph Fiennes has great taste in music, it'll be super fun. Here's what we've reviewed lately: 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE. This picks up right where Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" left off in 2025, but Nia DaCosta's film is very different: thrilling and terrifying in its own way, but also more somber, but also funny ...? Fiennes is insane here. In theaters. THE RIP. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck lead an all-star cast as Miami cops whose team stumbles upon a massive stash of drug money in this twisty thriller. This is the kind of substantial, mid-budget action movie we used to see a lot of in the '80s and '90s. Streaming now on Netflix. THE SECRET AGENT. We knew we wanted to catch up with Brazil's entry in the Oscar international feature category, and this was the perfect time. It just won Golden Globes for best motion picture - non-English language and best actor for Wagner Moura. We admire it but don't love it as much as our fellow critics do. In theaters. Movie News LIVE! Always a good time on Fridays. Among this week's topics were Kathleen Kennedy leaving LucasFilm; "Dune: Part Three" and "Avengers: Doomsday" competing on Dec. 18, aka "Dunesday"; and Matthew McConaughey trademarking his famous phrase, "Alright, alright, alright."

We have an extra-long episode to kick off 2026 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we posted our lists of the best and worst movies of 2025. Now, we're looking at new movies and chatting about movie news and spoilers: PRIMATE. A brilliant, highly-trained chimpanzee gets bitten by a rabid mongoose and goes on a homicidal rampage. It's the first week of January, but this gory horror movie is better than its calendar placement would suggest. In theaters. SONG SUNG BLUE. We're catching up with this crowd-pleaser from writer-director Craig Brewer ("Hustle & Flow," "Footloose"), inspired by a true story. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson co-star as musicians who fall in love with each other and the music of Neil Diamond while performing as a tribute band. In theaters. MOVIE NEWS LIVE! So much to discuss on this first news livestream of 2026, including the state of awards season, the "Stranger Things" finale, Mickey Rourke, Spencer Pratt and Ashley Tisdale's scathing mom group essay. Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific on Fridays. MARTY SUPREME SPOILER CHAT. We got into everything -- starting from the ending -- in our in-depth, live discussion of "Marty Supreme." What did you think of the Timothée Chalamet movie? Have you seen it more than once, as well? We love doing deeper analysis like this, so keep an eye out for more spoiler chats.
