50/50 and well worth watching
The movie goes into two extremes. It can be just amazingly well done making you sing along in your seat. Catchy and just wonderful. Then there are moments when you have to just laugh hysterically because it shifted to be done so poorly. Any time Rotti's children sang, any time Rotti was on his own, or when Joan Jett some how comes on screen. But either way, it is enjoyable and worth watching. Whenever Nathan, Blind Mag, or the drug dealer sing the songs are most memorable and wonderful. Whenever others sing, well just try to hold your laughter. This movie being an opera is both a benefit and detriment as every line is sung even when it should not be (Rotti in the car with the girl) but it allows for the show to be a theatrical piece (the final scene in the opera house). Which lends itself very well. My only real complaint is that the genetic element was not explored heavily enough as there was no relevance to the daughter at all. She chose but nothing to do with genetics just life

UH............
I didn't know what to think when I was the trailer......but when I saw the moive I was like.....oh god...Ugh what a wast of money. All though I'm sure Bousman had good will in make a movie so different from Saw this movie....just didn't do it AT ALL. It gross, lame and most of all STUPID! Paris Hilton can do so mush better then this.

Amazing!
Seeing this movie, or rather, going to the event was so amazing and fun. I had listened to a couple of the songs before seeing the movie, but I didn?t realize how unprepared I was for so much awesome.
All of the characters were great and I felt like I was transported to another world (or at least, this one in about 50ish years). I didn?t want the movie to end at all because it was just that great. I wish it had been much longer.
The movie was serious and sad, but it was also very funny in parts. I really can?t say enough good things about this movie. You?ll just have to experience it for yourself and see how great it is!
