Not only is this movie loads of fun, and not only does it have great music, but it qualifies on its own merit asa great movie. Don’t pay attention to the naysayers, many of them claiming to be fans. The movie takes absolute stereotypes, including the naive Brad and Janice, and turns themm all into three dimensional characters. The plot is the only unsubstantial element, but this is a musical.

Great movie. And great music.

This is a really, really BAD movie. In its sleep it dreams of being mediocre. The acting is abysmal, the dialogue laughable, and the production values rank somewhere between a training video and what happens when a three year-old finds the on button on mommy and daddy’s camcorder. At best, this movie is so bad it’s funny. So, why did I mark it as worth it? Simple: the experience of seeing the movie in a theater surrounded by crazed fans in costumes and makeup acting out the plot. The make fun of the movie and its characters lovingly, but seem to relish how horrible this thing really is. The fact so many eventual stars got their start in this movie gives it an interesting curio factor as well.
