Critical reception
TV Guide called the film a "decent musical farce."[2]
gollark: Their 117-million-parameter mind is too small to contain true gollariosity.
gollark: No, this is merely mgollark's insanity showing.
gollark: > The only thing I can do is use C, but it's not like Rust is particularly excellent and amazing.OH BEE OH BEE IT NEEDS RETRAINING

gollark: This is a flawless method of comparing information density, yes, before you ask.
