Linda Holmes

You know, we talked about the cameos, but in addition to the things I would actually call cameos, there's just a tremendous number of people stuffed into this movie who do not have very much to do at all.

Simone Ashley, who made such a strong impression in Bridgerton, is in it as Miranda's assistant.

She has a couple of sort of funny things.

Okay, got it.

All right, come on.

I'll show you to your office.

Oh, was it worth it?

No.

Caleb Herron, who is so funny and so charming and has a really limited...

appearance.

Justin Theroux is doing this, to me, very odd performance as an over-the-top billionaire.

Pauline Chalamet is in this for like, has a line.

I feel like she had to have gotten cut.

And I was just going to say, Conrad Ricamora, who's a really charming actor who was in Fire Island and has been in some other things, apparently was in this and got completely cut.

And

you know, you've got very limited screen time with Lucy Liu.

It just feels like there's way too much they tried to cram in here.

And in some cases, it feels like it's not much, but that's fine.

Like, I think Kenneth Branagh kind of drifting in and out as Miranda's husband.

I think he has an impact when he needs to.
