I knew Gene Kelly was going to dance his big ass off but was delighted what a silly goofy time this was. Day 2088 of me asking why movies don’t have color anymore.

*Bill Simmons Voice* “Are we sure the Fairy Godmother is good? Her plan to save the princess from incest is to have her ask for three bedazzled dresses from a King who has a donkey that shits jewels. Then when that doesn’t work she has her disguise herself in a donkey skin that doesn’t even cover her face. At what point do we admit she is overrated.” 5 star masterpiece. Highly recommend.

This movie’s stunt coordinator deserves a medal of freedom for their contributions to the art form.

I was deeply cynical about this movie existing. Wasn’t even planning on seeing it until had 2 hours to kill in Times Square and “Furious” was sold out. Happy to report it’s a banger. Was able to cover screen time miraculously without being out of touch or pandering. Jessie and Bullseye are superstars. I laughed. I cried.
