    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Comedy Spa Weekend may be as predictable as they come, but that doesn’t mean it’s not lightly entertaining throughout. Audiences expecting some undemanding escapism will be happy, as will fans of the comedic actress ensemble, each of whom are playing to their strengths. Let’s be honest upfront. If you’ve watched the trailer for new “women gone wild” comedy Spa Weekend, not only have you seen about 70% of the film, but if you’re familiar with this specific genre – which mixes R-ra

When it comes to live-action remakes of Disney animated movies, there are two kinds: the first, and rarer, is where filmmakers explore beyond expectation, shaking things up storywise and offering audiences something new.
