Real talk, this movie is pretty bad. Story is trite and doesn't engage, characters are underdeveloped and paperthin, songs are mostly forgettable and feel tacked on, pacing is plodding, comedy is silly and mostly falls flat, bawdy humor has no meaning behind it other than shallow maturity, tons of filler, villain is weak, setting is claustrophobic, color palette is garish / oversaturated, and the ending is unsatisfying. It's a dull, tone deaf and derivative musical that pales in comparison to any reinassance film, and it deserved to flop. It remains Dreamworks' lowest grossing film and has one of the lower ratings on RT and Metacritic.
Best thing to come out of it are the memes, Shark Tale, some coomerbait, and It's Tough to be a God.
