As for the original cast, they are just so happy to lean into the madness that it's infectious. Firth, bless him, is living his best life throughout. (All of the men are actually — it's a delight to see the James Bond of my childhood completely give in to the fact that he's going to look and sound lame, and just have a ball.) Baranski leans into her BDE like it's her job, and her scenes with Walters steal the show right from under Seyfried, who does her best to keep up but ends up being bulldozed by the sheer amount of lady power exuded from the pair. Her scenes with Dominic Cooper are positively snoozy compared to the party that's going on around them.
