Yawn. Really uninteresting idea, poorly executed. I worry about the state of modern musicals when something like this can rate as high as it did. The songs were everything a song shouldn't be. Lame music, lamer lyrics. It was, very much, like watching bad improv. Not campy bad, just bad. Each one an absolute turd.
Okay, enough kvetching. There were some good points. Which is why it rated 5 and not 0. Ana Gasteyer was brilliant, very funny and she has an amazing voice. The choreography was quite clever and fun. The sets and the way it was shot were also quite good. It just all sinks under the leaden songs. I had, possibly, too high hopes for this. Now I just hoped I was high while watching it. Bad joke, I know. I couldn't help myself. The thing is they should have.
