Alright, let’s get straight to it—Colossal is one wild ride. Imagine waking up hungover, realizing you control a giant monster in Seoul, and then thinking, “Yeah, that tracks.” That’s Anne Hathaway’s life in this movie, and honestly… she absolutely makes the Premium Milk list. Seriously, Anne is out here showing she can do rom-com, drama, and kaiju chaos without breaking a sweat.
Now, the movie starts off like a quirky indie flick. Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is a hot mess, unemployed, and drinking like she’s trying to set a world record. She’s so down bad, she has to move back to her hometown, where she reconnects with Oscar (Jason Sudeikis), the guy who looks like he’d end every sentence with, “Yeah, my dad owns the place.” At first, it’s all friendly until it’s not. This dude switches up so fast, we thought we were watching an episode of Bar Rescue—and he’s the failing owner.
And then… the sandbox. Gloria drunkenly stumbles into a playground’s sandbox and unknowingly controls a Godzilla-sized monster in Seoul. Yeah, a sandbox. We ain’t never looking at a playground the same way again. But instead of being just another monster movie, Colossal dives deep into toxic relationships, self-destruction, and—plot twist—revenge via kaiju.
Shoutout to Jason Sudeikis, who starts off charming and then turns straight-up menacing. Bro went from “wanna grab a beer?” to “I’ll destroy an entire city just to spite you.” It’s Bar Rescue meets psychological warfare, and it’s beautifully chaotic.
Look, Colossal is weird, funny, and oddly emotional. It’s not for everybody, but it definitely sticks with you. Plus, Anne Hathaway is out here serving looks, laughs, and life lessons. Premium Milk status confirmed.
