Ladies First movie review: Gender-flipped workplace comedy with dated ideas | Movie-review News

3 min readMay 26, 2026 06:19 PM IST Ladies First movie review: First things first, this comedy drama about a misogynistic corporate honcho being made to navigate sexist treatment and mindset when he finds himself in a set-up that is ruled by women is not new. What adds spark to the remake of the French title, I Am Not an Easy Man, is the presence of Rosamund Pike as Alex Fox, a hardworking and talented executive who is picked as one of the company’s creative directors because it looks good for the optics. Some minutes into the movie, things seem to have turned upside down. Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays Alex’s boss Damien Sachs, finds himself in a parallel alternative world dominated by women.

Now You See Me Now You Don’t trailer: When it comes to movie franchises around magic, its safe to say that Harry Potter has had that sub-genre under lock ever since 2001. But that slightly changed after the release of Now You See Me (2013), where the characters were using their magic for something slightly more grown up and well illegal for the most part. The franchise is now coming back with its third film titled Now You See Me Now You Don’t and this time the Four Horsemen are going to take down another criminal mastermind. Fans are over the moon as the original gang is back together in Now You See Me Now You Don’t. In the second film titled Now You See Me 2, Isla Fisher’s character, Henley Reeves, was missing from the ensemble, with Lula May, played by Lizzy Caplan, taking her place. This time, Isla is back, and so are Daniel Atlas, Merritt McKinney, and Jack Wilder. The Four Horsemen have even recruited some new members, mirroring how they were …

British actor Rosamund Pike recently recalled a terrifying moment from nearly 20 years ago, when she was attacked and mugged while walking through London.
