I really enjoy Baz's other films, Strictly Ballroom being my favorite, because of the music. This one had good points, but the way it was done...the first 30-45 minutes seemed wasted on one big party that felt like a drunken fest. That may have been the intent, but I found it boring waiting for the story to start. The music choices didn't fit the times and really felt out of place instead of adding to the show. They were very distracting. It's fun to try new things, but in this case it didn't work. The visuals were rich, the cast great (though by the end Toby's narration was both droll and his voice annoying). If the music were better it's one of those things that could have changed everything, but between trying to find the story past all the alcohol and trying to enjoy/feel the show but getting pulled out by the music, I just couldn't love this one. I've enjoyed Baz's other movies so much that yeah, I really was disappointed by this one. Better luck next time.
