James L. Brooks has returned with a new film, "Ella McCay", which is set to debut on Disney+. Reviews of the movie are largely negative, with some outlets describing it as a "trainwreck" and a "sorry mess", while others find it to be an old-fashioned dramedy inspired by classic screwball films, suggesting a divide in opinion on the film's quality and tone. The movie is a family drama that some critics have found to be dated or inane.
