ridiculous rating

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
