Mediocre as a whole, but lots of good moments and music

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2019)

It's probably good I let this sink in a bit before rating it; it's one of those films that as a whole is just okay (the plot's a mash of storylines and undercooked themes and the characters either don't develop or do so rapidly) but has lots of great moments--mostly comedic (see the sausage factory trip, Hart's hilarious Snowball: "Ricky!") or musical--including a good feel-good final montage set to some scrumptious throwback R&B. Desplat's excellent jazzy score elevates a lot of other scenes.
6.5/10
