A jumbled, disorganized mess

Rating: 2/10 (9 March 2008)

This film doesn't work on so many levels, I don't know where to begin. It feels like the filmmakers came up with their favorite songs from the era to use in a movie. The problem is, they weren't able to tie them together in a lucid, linear, narrative way. The story is so superficial as to be distractingly awkward. I can't help but think of the play/movie "Mamma Mia" which had only the hit songs of ABBA to put together into an interesting narrative which succeeded in the attempt. This film had countless songs to choose from and they seem utterly unrelated even with boring, pointless filler dialogue which should be binding them together. A bad movie with good music is still a bad movie...
