Any thoughts on this movie? I saw it yesterday and though it was a pretty stylish film, it had too many problems to make it a good movie I'd buy or even see again.
My biggest criticism was that it seemed like it couldn't decide whether to be a movie or a music video, no it was not like a musical the whole way through as expected. It's like it would be in movie mode and then go into a music scene, this was okay, like musical-lite but then it burst into these absolute music video scenes that brought me out of the movie.
Besides that, it wasn't the most original story, I could probably find that listed in a list of generic Hollywood storylines.
Also, I'm thankful they didn't put some hardcore rap into the movie, though the movie does have a few rap songs in them it's not so "uh! Uh! UH! Yea! YEa! YEA!"-sort of rap that's really boring these days. The rap in the movie is more like an actual song, which if I remember correctly is OutKast's style?
But the overall saving grace was how stylish the movie was and that was the most entertaining part, especially the dance scenes which had some terrific choreography.
