It’s a shame that this comes so soon after “Get Out.” While they are completely different movies, they do combine two genres –horror and comedy— that aren’t generally balanced together. And Get Out was next level awesome, while Colossal is merely really, really good. Colossal actually leans more towards a monster movie than horror, or maybe psychological thriller, but it also serves up more laughs than expected. The setup is about all that’s worth talking about because the less you know about the plot, the better. Anne Hathaway is Gloria, an out of work party girl who, after a breakup, relocates to her parent’s empty house in her upstate New York hometown to dry out. She runs into her childhood friend Oscar, a completely game Jason Sudeikis. Meanwhile, in South Korea, a Godzilla-like monster is attacking the city. Yeah.
