Amy Amatangelo

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

When Amy Amatangelo was little, her parents limited the amount of TV she could watch. You can see how well that worked out. In addition to Telly Visions, her work can currently be found in Paste Magazine, Emmy Magazine, and the LA Times. She also is the Treasurer of the Television Critics Association. Amy liked the ending of Lost and credits the original 90210 for her life-long devotion to teen dramas. She stays up at night wondering what happened between Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi and really thinks Carrie Bradshaw needs to join match.com so she can meet a new guy.

Movies TV Shows
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025) 88% EDIT “Underneath pratfalls and slapstick moments is a more mature, poignant movie about moving on after the devastating loss of a loved one.” – Tellyvisions Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 6.8/10 EDIT “As a story about children finding a place to belong, discovering their true sense of self and realizing that parents and parental figures love you even when they don’t always understand you, Elio is a lovely, if not particularly original story. ” – Paste Magazine Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% 7.3/10 EDIT “ Lilo & Stitch is not only incredibly well cast, it also brings the movie into 2025 with some smart changes and thoughtful additions.” – Paste Magazine May 20, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% 6.5/10 EDIT “She is Moana! And, frankly, she deserves a little more respect than this.” – Paste Magazine Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 7.9/10 EDIT “More poignant than an out-and-out tearjerker, the observations of Inside Out 2 may still get adults a little misty.” – Paste Magazine Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Brats (2024) 85% 8.0/10 EDIT “Brats is an ’80s-infused trip down memory lane mixed with savvy insight, revealing interviews and deft directing.” – Paste Magazine Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Mother of the Bride (2024) 13% 6.7/10 EDIT “You know when you check into a hotel and the default TV channel is the hotel promotion channel? The new Netflix movie Mother of the Bride is kind of like that.” – Paste Magazine May 9, 2024 Full Review Irish Wish (2024) 41% 7.0/10 EDIT “Irish Wish makes terrific use out of the country’s locations and lulls you into not asking too many questions.” – Paste Magazine Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Mean Girls (2024) 68% 6.8/10 EDIT “The positives don’t outweigh the negatives here. I think it’s time we stopped trying to make Mean Girls happen.” – Paste Magazine Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Trolls Band Together (2023) 64% 6.0/10 EDIT “Sure the entire plot of Trolls Band Together and the movie’s best jokes are revealed in the trailer. But the movie’s target audience is the same audience that can watch Frozen 20 times.” – Paste Magazine Nov 16, 2023 Full Review My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 (2023) 31% 6.1 EDIT “A better title may have been My Big Fat Greek Vacation Commercial. ” – Paste Magazine Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Sitting in Bars with Cake (2023) 77% 7.0/10 EDIT “You probably don’t need me to tell you how this movie ends, but Sitting in Bars with Cake is still worth tasting.” – Paste Magazine Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Puppy Love (2023) 44% 4.0/10 EDIT “The best part of Puppy Love may be its double entendre marketing tagline: “One bone can change everything.”” – Paste Magazine Aug 14, 2023 Full Review The Beanie Bubble (2023) 46% 8.0/10 EDIT “A cuddly, enjoyable and often humorous edition of the American dream gone awry.” – Paste Magazine Jul 20, 2023 Full Review 80 for Brady (2023) 59% 7.3/10 EDIT “In a movie landscape full of superheroes, sequels and special effects, a film featuring four women over the age of 70 may seem like a Hail Mary pass. But 80 for Brady is here to tackle the clichés.” – Paste Magazine Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Shotgun Wedding (2023) 45% 6.5/10 EDIT “If you can put your cynicism aside, RSVP “yes” to Shotgun Wedding.” – Paste Magazine Jan 26, 2023 Full Review Spirited (2022) 70% 6.8/10 EDIT “In the name of “doing a little good” like the movie suggests, I will say Spirited is not completely unredeemable.” – Paste Magazine Nov 9, 2022 Full Review Luckiest Girl Alive (2022) 42% 6.1/10 EDIT “No one, especially not the viewer, is lucky.” – Paste Magazine Oct 7, 2022 Full Review Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 65% 6.8/10 EDIT “At an hour and 43 minutes, Hocus Pocus 2 is definitely too long. But still I can’t be that mad that the witches are back; they still cast quite the spell.” – Paste Magazine Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Luck (2022) 48% 6.0/10 EDIT “At 106 minutes, the movie’s length and intricate plot will probably leave most kids slightly bored. ” – Paste Magazine Aug 3, 2022 Full Review Anything's Possible (2022) 87% 8.9/10 EDIT “Anything’s Possible is indeed revolutionary, but the revolution is in how typical its story is.” – Paste Magazine Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) 67% 7.9/10 EDIT “Jerry & Marge Go Large is a winner.” – Paste Magazine Jun 20, 2022 Full Review Father of the Bride (2022) 80% 7.9/10 EDIT “Director Gaz Alazraki infuses the property with much needed diversity and a more evolved perspective on weddings, romance and growing up.” – Paste Magazine Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022) 87% 9.0/10 EDIT “Will you enjoy a A New Era even if you’ve never seen a single second of Downton Abbey? As the Crawleys themselves might say, “I’d rather think so.” But this is a movie for the fans.” – Paste Magazine May 19, 2022 Full Review Sneakerella (2022) 93% 7.6/10 EDIT “As a tween musical full of catchy songs, the shoe fits.” – Paste Magazine May 9, 2022 Full Review
