Really happy that Lupita is seeing box office success with both her projects this year!

I was listening to The Town, their like Summer fantasy League episode, and the host said "Whenever she's in a movie, maybe bc she does so so rarely, it's a big deal."

Yeah, but I’m (very pleasantly) surprised that so many folks are willing to wait in between projects and show up to support.

Same! I've been reading TWR reviews and she's a standout. Not just a famous voice hired for animation, but she actually gives a performance. Same with Pedro.

Can't wait to see it next weekend. I really hope the movie has legs.

I've never seen Pedro in anything before and I have to admit I can see (hear) why people are charmed by him.

This film wasn’t on my radar at all but I might have to check it out.
