I'll get this out of the way: some (not all) of the music is enjoyable when it is taken out of the movie to be listened to by its own merits. When that 21st century pop is put into a 19th century period piece, it seems out of place. This movie is not able to develop any of its themes or characters in convincing ways. Every message is either hinted at and never expanded on or just thrown in your face with out any kind of set up. Also the movie has a character in it that is supposed to represent the uptight critic which is teaching the audience that it's ok to harass anyone with critism because you should just have fun. You can enjoy the movie if you want and that's totally up to opinion but this is an objectively bad movie and musical.
