Watched online, good print.

The low score is for the horrid title song, which sticks in my head like slime. Also, the story is childish (in an adult way), MF doesn't dance and neither does ZG. So LC doesn't move much either.

Only 2 songs in the Soundtracks, and that's 1 more than AFI lists. No wonder I hate the song so much after watching the movie and running errands.
