I did not see it mentioned in the synopsis that this is a musical - it is. As a loving, well-crafted spoof of the dance movie genre, it hits spot-on. As a comedy, not all of the jokes work, but far more of them do than don't, and some had me grinning days later.
As a musical, it was surprisingly good - not quite up to Rodgers and Hammerstein, but considerably better than several well-received attempts at the genre that I've seen in recent years.
All in all, a surprisingly fun movie that I enjoyed much more than I expected to. |
