What am I watching?

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2017)

I wouldn't say I tricked into seeing this but I had no idea before going that the film would be a nonsensical forgettable throwback style musical that was clearly written for the demographic mindset of 40+ year old single women with three wine coolers in them. It was clear that the story, supposedly about Jazz or Theater or something, was aimed at pasty White people who don't know the first thing about Jazz or Theater. Mix in a lot of forced chemistry-free smiling, brutally crafted ideas for singing and dancing, and a couple of out-of-place 'f' words to make it seem that this is supposed to also be a film for adults and you have a recipe for a bloated overrated piece of glittery junk that looks more like a thrift store basket filled with cheap deceased people's jewelry than the most amazing film in decades. I kept waiting for Mary Poppins style cartoon birds or penguins to show up. Get over yourself if think this was any better than the awful 'Chicago', which by the way was just as forgettable although it stupidly won an Oscar and beat out several much better films. The dumbest film I have seen in years. Thanks for the nap.
