Having watched hundreds of musicals, mostly from the Golden Age of Hollywood, 1930-1960, but also just about all of the big ones 1960-1990, it's difficult to think of a weaker show than this one. Maybe one of those forgettable Grables after 1945? It's really sad to say that because you'd think things would keep improving over time but in this case... that's a no.
It's not Kendrick's fault (other than accepting the role at all) that this is so poor. She does just about what anybody could do with it. One wishes desperately for one of the High School Musicals, any one of them.
This movie is like a really, endlessly, long music video from 1981 that got rejected by mtv.
