Twitter Capsule: (2010) Hopeless at the level of script, structure, but genuinely exuberant and amiable, and handles its numbers well. I howled.

Second Capsule: (2019) Few films are this unpretentious. Is that a dig? Not totally. Is Burlesque good? Not really. But yeah, kinda. It's fun!

VOR: ②  Musicals are hard. Wholly original ones were attempted even more seldom in 2010 than now. That said, this film is emphatically trivial. Which I dig.
