Breakfast All Day movie reviews

Between Mummy and Mother and Movie News, it's a marvelous Friday at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you:
LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY. A little girl disappears from her family in Cairo, only to return eight years later as ... well, she's no longer their little girl. The central mystery in writer-director Lee Cronin's reimagining of the Mummy mythology is what happened to her and how to unravel it. This movie is super gross. It's also way too long. In theaters.

MOTHER MARY. Anne Hathaway is a Lady Gaga-style pop diva with hopes of reinventing herself. The one person she can turn to for help is her longtime costume designer and collaborator (Michaela Coel), with whom she had a falling out years ago. The latest from writer-director David Lowery takes some wild swings and will be hugely divisive. In limited release this weekend, opening wide April 24.

MOVIE NEWS LIVE! It's been a month since we've done a news livestream, so we had so much to catch up on, including announcements out of CinemaCon, the latest in the Paramount/WB merger, Eurovision, the Billie Eilish concert movie and more. Come back next Friday at Noon Pacific and we'll do it again.

Thanks for being here! Have a great weekend.

We're back in town and catching up with a mid-week drop here at Breakfast All Day.
First, we reviewed "Outcome," a star-studded satire from director, co-writer and co-star Jonah Hill. Keanu Reeves plays an A-list actor who must go on an apology tour when he becomes the target of an extortion scheme. This is not a good movie but it's got an incredible cast, including Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Roy Wood Jr., Susan Lucci and Martin Scorsese. Streaming now on Apple TV.
Then, as promised, we did a LIVE spoiler conversation about "The Drama." There's so much we didn't want to ruin in our spoiler-free review of the Zendaya and Robert Pattinson movie, but now that it's been out for a little while, it's time to go in-depth. Let us know your thoughts!
Come back and see us on Friday, when we'll have reviews of "Lee Cronin's The Mummy" and "Mother Mary." Plus, we're doing our first Movie News LIVE! in about a month, so hang out with us at our Breakfast All Day YouTube channel Friday at Noon Pacific. Hope to see you.

It's spring break, but we'd never leave you entirely here at Breakfast All Day. We stockpiled a few goodies for you while Christy's off skiing, including a Documentary Tuesday with two very different films:
MARC BY SOFIA. Sofia Coppola explores the life and career of her friend of 30-plus years, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, in this intimate and fascinating documentary. If you like process and '90s nostalgia, this one's for you. In theaters.
MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART 1- LAST AIR IN MOSCOW. This was on both of our top-10 lists last year, so we're thrilled that it's now available for you to watch, as well. Julia Loktev's 5 1/2-hour doc follows a group of independent Russian TV journalists as Putin is invading Ukraine. They continue doing their jobs as they find themselves increasingly in danger. Streaming on MUBI.
LITTLE DARLINGS: Was It Great, or Were You 8?: It's our favorite game, where we revisit movies from our childhood to determine whether they truly were great, or we just remember them fondly. This time it was Christy's turn, and she chose "Little Darlings," a film that seemed so racy to her in 1980. Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol star as summer campers from opposite ends of the economic spectrum competing to see who can lose her virginity first. Armand Assante, Matt Dillon and a very young Cynthia Nixon co-star. Play along and let us know what you think!
Thanks for sticking with us. We'll be back to a more normal schedule next week, including a LIVE spoiler chat about THE DRAMA. Join us at our YouTube channel at Noon Pacific time on Tuesday, April 14. Hope to see you then.

A quick episode as we head into spring break here at Breakfast All Day, but it's got a couple of big movies. Here's what we reviewed for you this week:
THE DRAMA (No Spoilers!). Lots of buzz about this A24 romance starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, but it may not be the movie you were expecting. There's a shocking twist surrounding this engaged couple in the week before their wedding, which threatens to upend everything. We have mixed feelings on this film. In theaters.

THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE. The sequel to 2023's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" is critic proof, but we thought we'd review it anyway. Everyone's back -- Mario and Luigi and Princess Peach and Boswer -- but now another powerful princess is in danger. It's bright and shiny and colorful and very much for kids. In theaters.

Check back with us on Tuesday, April 14 at Noon Pacific, when we'll do a LIVE spoiler chat about "The Drama." We wanted to give people a chance to see the movie before digging into everything that happens. This is definitely a movie you're going to want to talk about afterward. Thanks for being here!

It's a bit of a quiet week here at Breakfast All Day as "Project Hail Mary" continues to dominate the post-Oscar box office and Alonso is traveling.
But! We have reviews of a couple of movies that we don't agree on, and they both happen to be horror comedies:
THEY WILL KILL YOU. Zazie Beetz takes on a high-rise full of wealthy Satan worshippers who ... want to kill her. That may sound a lot like last week's "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come," but it's got its own crazy, hyper-stylized action. Think of it as "John Wick" by way of Looney Tunes. In theaters.

FORBIDDEN FRUITS. Lili Reinhart stars as the queen bee at the hottest clothing store, with co-workers who follow her around and obey her every rule. And they all happen to be named for fruits. But a new employee threatens to undermine her dominance. Think of it as "Mean Girls" in a Dallas mall. In theaters.

Thanks to all the great folks who joined us at the Gardena Cinema last weekend for "After Hours"! We'll plan another in-person event soon.
