Disclaimer- I watched this while playing a casual video game because on it's own I wouldn't have been able to sit through it.
If your here then you've read the synopsis and it is a good basic description of the story. To expand i'll break down the format a little. A wealthy retired white guy says you can achieve you goals so he pays to make a video clip. Then he goes and hangs out with some actor/musicians drag queens at an arts school in the Philippines.
The middle of the movie is him on an acid trip with some pretty cool visualizations, but I started wondering when he was ever going to come down or whether the whole movie was just a trip.
Lastly he decides he wants to do a concert I am not sure if this was always the plan because I don't remember it being stated earlier in the show. So there's a fake concert with a fake audience and a set of three terrible songs.
He monologues a moral or at the end stating that your never to old to achieve your dreams which I shut off the movie thinking yeah that's a pretty good message. Cue to me waking up today and realizing that as a wealthy, white retired guy I could achieve a lot of things other than watch bad movies and play video games, I just couldn't be bothered. But to all those out there struggling in life it's pretty damn preachy.
The three star rating is for the acid trip as it was kind of cool in places but overall don't bother watching it unless you're already doing something entertaining to complement it.
