Movies that feel likeCruella (2021)

In 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, a young grifter named Estella is determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets. One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.

If you loved Cruella, the closest films we have are I, Tonya (2017), We're the Millers (2013) and Seven Psychopaths (2012). All three share Cruella's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Snatch (2000).

Gritty comedy in both cases

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust.
