    Crazy, Stupid, Love.

    ★★

    I normally hate comedy plots that rely on miscommunication, but I actually laughed a lot during this movie. Don’t get me wrong, it was dumb. Super, super stupid. Took a long time to get where it was going. But it was funny (and cringey) all along the way.

    Doesn’t pass the Bechtel test but great acting, writing, sound, and cinematography. A little heavy handed in its messaging but in a way I found effective.

    I love that they weren’t afraid to take time to tell the story in great detail and depth. I fear that Grande overshadowed Erivo, perhaps because of the writing and direction but also because the production mix was shockingly out of balance. However, the world-building through set, ensemble, and lighting adds a new vibe to the classic musical. Perhaps the film would have earned five stars if I wasn’t subconsciously holding it to the standard of the staged musical. Regardless, the choreography and camerawork will remain legendary, and the casting is top notch.

    Hilarious but I’ll probably never watch it again
