Unwatchable for Technical Reasons Alone
I appreciate a good musical, however, this film was a narrow miss for me when I first saw it – though I really wanted to like it. After watching the blu-ray release 30 years later, I’m afraid I can’t imagine why I ever thought I liked it at all. No doubt a good-looking picture with candy-color saturated sets and costumes but that’s where its appeal ends. Mostly forgettable songs, and production values that worked well for short format music videos are all too much for one to endure as a 2 hour feature. The rushed, often cringe-inducing dialog, sloppy overdubbing, endless jump-cuts, even the claustrophobic framing are unsettling enough to inspire angst in anyone. There’s something odd about the timing, pacing, and overall flow that feels so foreign and unnatural – like watching a really long television commercial. In any case, this is not an enjoyable film. A 1950’s story trapped in a 1980’s medium. Hopelessly dated.

wasted time
This might be the worst movie I ever saw. From the historical inaccuracies to the pretentious pop, everything that could be overdone was. If the year is 1958, why then is Patsy Kensit wearing a miniskirt half the time? Why not have her use a cell phone too. Hairstyles and clothes are decidedly 1980’s, not 1950’s. The characters in the film are lightweight, every cliché is over-indulged, and no explanation is ever given as to why the lead character is so widely admired, since he sows nothing that would make him so.

The film is shallow almost beyond belief; It is nearer a comic book than a film. Perhaps that was the filmmaker’s intent. I cannot imagine anyone over the age of 12 liking this movie.
