Dumbo......That Says It All

Rating: 2/10 (2 June 2013)

It is Ironic, or maybe not Considering the Intention, that the Director decided to use Disney's Dumbo (1941) as a Set-Piece-Gag in this Movie, because that sums it up Elegantly. It is the only thing that is Elegant in this Gaudy, Loud, Unfunny Comedy.
There are so Many Stars here that maybe, but Doubtful, is an Homage to MGM ("More Stars than In the Heavens"). The frames in this Film are so Full and the Pacing so Manic and the Laughs so Infrequent, that it doesn't take the breath away, it Suffocates the Viewer into a Coma.
The Cinematography looks Great. But it tries and Fails to be a Spicy Spoof of "Haw-wee-wood" Excess, maybe, but who knows? This is such a Misshapen Movie that it is really hard to tell What it is or Why it is.
It throws so Much so Fast and so Often that it can't be Funny despite itself. It is an Obnoxious and Nauseating, Ear-Splitter and an Eye-Roller trying hard to be a Knee-Slapper.
If there is one Redeeming Value, it is totally Lacking the Trademark Spielberg Sentimentality. But the Master Manipulator is Working so Feverishly here that the only thing that is accomplished is to Annoy the Audience.
