About
If you enjoy upbeat music-comedies with a cheeky take on pop culture and marketing, this is a lively, nostalgic ride; Not for you if you want grounded drama or subtle humor—try Connie and Carla or Marry Me instead.
Pros: catchy songs; sharp industry satire; fun, goofy energy | Cons: heavy product placement; uneven last act; plot gets absurd
