I had to sleep on this one before eating and reviewing. It's funny, but it's not fun. The songs are weirdly catchy, but I didn't like them. Michael Fassbender is there, but I can't see his face. So many pros and cons! I loved the beginning and the ending.
I kept thinking that it felt like a Wes Anderson movie that lost its aesthetics.
