Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
