I can see what Tarantino was trying to do with this movie, he gave us all a big hint by referencing a fairytale in the title. I wouldn't go as far as comparing it to The Naked Gun movies, but it does try to send up all that is Hollywood.

The problem is that if it's a parody or a satirical representation of how Hollywood was/is, it doesn't quite work. Usually these type of movies are funny while being on script (think Spitting Image), but this just doesn't. It's long, dragged out and somewhat boring in many places with scenes played out at length for no apparent reason.

The whole storyline around The Manson Gang and Sharon Tate seems a little awkward at best, not quite sure what its relevance was. Maybe there's a conspiracy theory behind it, but it just didn't work.

It is successful in shining a light on the narcissism that is Hollywood and all that live in that realm and the lengths they will go to, in order to protect their little bubble.

If you're on a long haul flight, maybe watch it, as it will pass a considerable amount of time, but don't come away thinking enlightened or even entertained.
