...Because anything that pissed the misogynists off so much had to have something to recommend it. This proved to be true, in that it was genuinely the most flat-out enjoyable film I've seen in several months - unpretentious entertainment that didn't ladle on the pathos in an attempt to be taken seriously. If leads Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy were a little understated, then Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth amply compensated with sparkling comic turns. I was touched by the many warmhearted homages to the (vastly inferior) original, too. Not great cinema by any means, but a truly, unreservedly great time.
