An under-rated classic.
Yep. This is a hot mess. 3 songs dont work... at all. Its slow, as 1980 films were. And the plot is paper thin.
But it is glorious. This movie feels like a cartoon! The casting is perfect. Williams did his own stunts in his debut, Duval is a whine-y beauty and hell; you couldnt find a cuter baby for the role of Sweat Pea. The set design is incredible - it took 7 months to build. The jokes are memorable - both spoken and visual (and there is so much happening that you only see them on repeat viewings). And the songs (except for those 3 travesties) are catchy. Finally, this has the best use of an Octopus aside from Lord of the Rings.
This was the perfect way to forget about Hamilton from this weekend trilogy. Watch this - it is cheesy messy fun.
