About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, colorful musical with racing, flirtation, and lots of catchy numbers; Not for you if you need a deep plot or modern romance, like in Bye Bye Birdie.
Pros: catchy songs; lively Vegas energy; strong star chemistry | Cons: thin story; rushed pacing; dated romance beats
