Here we go again. All the film critics with their unrealistically high expectations. People seem to forget that this studio (aka Netflix) has only been around for a fraction of what the big studios have been around for. So with that in mind - this was actually pretty good. But with that being said - this movie was nothing THAT special. It was pretentious AF. It thought it was the movie of the year. And it wasn't. Like, when Kate Hudson was acting (which was very obvious), it was like she was saying "Oh, look at me, I'm like Cameron Diaz, but better. Look at me!! I can act too!! I just don't want to."

So for the actual storyline - 1st half of the movie is a total snooze fest. Be ready for it. But you need to watch it in order for the 2nd half of the movie to make sense which is where you finally get some action. It's not a lot and the little bit that we get at the end is so totally over the top and pointless but they tried. I mean, we have to give them credit for at least trying. Most movies are not even trying these days. But seriously, what's with the 10 minute sequence of breaking things at the end?? There was so much emphasis put on that scene that I thought "Surely this must be important for the story!" But nope - not relevant at all. It was just a cheap way to add some action in an otherwise somewhat slow movie.

Janelle Monae totally stole the show though. Honestly, I just couldn't get enough of her. And I love how she plays double duty and her characters makes a full 180. You have to watch it to see what I mean but it was good. At first it's like WTF but then it's all explained and it makes sense and you're like "Yaaas!! You go queen!!"

Overall, not a bad movie. But as everyone else said - not as good as the first one.
