The first song is wonderfully catchy, with magnificent choreography and terrific style. Unfortunately, the rest of the film fails to live up to it. The romance and the musical parts are great. Where the movie stumbles is when it tries to get serious... it mostly comes off as ridiculous. An awful lot of bad clichés and occasionally nonsensical plot turns. With all the abrupt shifts in tone, it doesn't hang together well at all, and is done with little imagination or originality.
