Mostly entertaining reimagining of the classic Disney villainess. It’s still a half hour too long and some of it feels like padding just to fill in references to the original animated movie. But it’s got a great lead turn by Emma Stone, a rocking good soundtrack, and a much more mean-spirited tone than your typical Disney movie.

A fashion-forward film with Emma Stone vamping it up in a dual role as the nice Estella and the slightly mad Cruella. Great supporting roles from Emma Thompson, Mark Strong, Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser (and a couple of cute pups) make this a fun not-quite-light hearted adventure - I mean, for Disney it pushes some boundaries, but maybe that's a good thing. It has just enough of an edge to make things interesting.

Emma Stone is having the time of her life in the devilish title role, but "Cruella" has so little bite to it that I unfortunately was never having as much fun as its stunning leading lady.
