Prioritize:
One star is for the inclusion of the music video Smooth Criminal. Otherwise, it is the ultimate essence of pathos and kitsch in a dosage rarely seen. A pop culture phenomenon that, due to the creators' lack of judgment, became annoying. Musical films usually have a problem with a script that can meaningfully connect the musical numbers. Here, it seems to me that the script is completely absent, or rather, it was created during one alcohol-soaked evening. Overall impression: 25%.
