This movie proves that having a good stylistic idea for a movie, doesn't mean that movie should be made... A lot of great comical sequences (you have got to love Christopher Walken in this one!), but not a great movie. Seems unstructured and amateurish. Sad, because the idea of a blue collar musical is good, but the story is just too skinny and it seems that the movies is a compilation of good ideas for scenes, instead of one coherent movie. And no, the incoherence doesn't make it an art house movie, it just makes it a nice try. With a weak, weak story and stereotypical characters, which never become anything other that stereotypical. But fun at times, though.
