Emily Blunt: ‘Women are still pressured to be warm and likable. Men are not’ | Emily Blunt

When Emily Blunt was 13, she was in the chorus of the school play. Then the lead fell ill. Could she learn The Caucasian Chalk Circle overnight? No need! “She was already off-book,” says her sister, Felicity Blunt. “Em had been watching the whole time in rehearsal, not gossiping like everyone else.”Felicity, 17 months her senior, is a literary agent. When she reads manuscripts, she says: “If I’m thinking: ‘Is it good?’ it’s not good. If it’s great, you can’t stop thinking about it.” Such was the case seeing her little…

Joy Ride review – slickly likable Asian-American comedy dwells on family and identity | Film

Writer-producer Adele Lim, who worked on the script for Crazy Rich Asians, now makes her feature directing debut with this likable and brash Asian-American comedy about four women leaving the US for a trip to the Chinese homeland; they come to terms with their roots in various ways, expressing sexualities queer and straight and of course celebrating friendship.It all barrels along, with a journey-of-discovery narrative template not entirely dissimilar to the recent Book Club sequel; the energy levels are high and there…

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken review – ​likable if slight coming-of-age cartoon​ | Animation in film

American high school is a shark pit at the best of times. But it’s particularly tough if, like Ruby Gillman (voiced by Lana Condor), you are a member of a family of krakens – blue-skinned, tentacled, invertebrate sea creatures – who have been passing as human for the past 15 years. And while Ruby thought that negotiating prom was her main challenge, it turns out that her mother (Toni Collette) hasn’t been entirely straight with her. Ruby has a monster-size problem.Key to understanding it all is the grandmother she never…

Champions review – Woody Harrelson goes for slam dunk in likable basketball drama | Film

This big-hearted underdog sports comedy runs on rails, with no great surprises, but it’s likable. It’s the story of Marcus (Woody Harrelson), a washed-up, grumpy basketball coach with a booze problem who gets busted for drunk driving: the judge sentences him to 90 days’ community service coaching a basketball team of teens with learning disabilities.It’s a remake of a Spanish film called Campeones and inspired by a true story from Spain, but the fact that this film is directed by the broad comedy maestro Bobby Farrelly…

The most likable characters from That ‘70s Show, ranked

Fox’s classic throwback sitcom, That ’70s Show, has had many weird and wonderful characters. Not all of them have been so nice and pure of heart, and many of them are guilty of a variety of crimes.

With Netflix’s sequel series, That ’90s Show, just around the corner, here’s a guide to the original show’s characters that TV viewers most wanted to hang out with back in the Seventies. 10.

The most likable Disney villains, ranked

For many viewers, Disney’s villains are the best characters of them all. It’s no wonder why Cruella and Maleficent got their own movies — they often outshined the heroes and became the real star of their respective shows. But why? Why are Disney villains so damn likable? Is it their awesome outfits? Their fantastically shady lines? Or their engrossing character? Let’s face it, the villains normally have more personality than the heroes and provide so much more to the story, whether it’s humor, sly wit, and in some…

The 10 most likable Big Bang Theory characters, ranked

In 2007, The Big Bang Theory premiered to humble beginnings. Airing just before the writer’s strike shut down Hollywood, the show centered around a group of nerdy, geeky scientists at Cal Tech. After its well-received first season, the show quickly gained momentum, and by the mid-2010s, The Big Bang Theory had become the most-watched show on television and was even ranked as one of the best shows of the 21st century. What makes it all even more extraordinary is that, on the surface, the lead characters weren’t…

The 6 most likable characters on Friends, ranked

The magic of Friends was always that it felt like every episode was a visit with friends you actually knew. When you really think about it, though, some of the characters on Friends would be better actual friends than others. Of the six core characters on the show, a few would be genuinely great hangs, and a couple of others may be genuinely difficult to deal with. The show is currently streaming on HBO Max, and we thought we’d use that occasion to rank the six core friends from most to least likable. 6. Ross It’s a…
