Linda Holmes

She like smiles and she helps Andy get a job.

And none of that is in the book.

So they soften her one step for the first movie.

I felt like in this movie she lost almost all of her edge and becomes very relaxed.

Much more broadly comic as opposed to dryly comic, which I felt like she was in the first one.

I think for the street performance in the first movie is absolute dry ice.

It is dry as a bone and it is ice cold.

This to me felt a little hammier.

There's a little more face pulling.

There's a little more doing funny things like you know they're funny.

And I...

Did not respond as well to that.

So I really missed the Miranda of the first movie.

But with that said, I enjoyed watching it.

I like these actors.

It doesn't really feel to me like a real movie, but I didn't have a terrible time.

I agree with that.

As I said, I think it's later in the film when they're starting to get into more of the kind of melancholy that's built into this story.

I became a little bit more intrigued by it as opposed to, I think you make a good point that some of the parts that I didn't really need to spend a lot of time with, you end up spending a lot of time with.

Obviously, yes, the montages, whatever.
