The acting was good, but the irritation of the musical numbers may it painful to watch at time. I'm a vocalist so I hunt down these types of films. I have never seen a musical theme movie where every production song is vocoder so much you can't differentiate the singers vocally from each other. The only time I heard genuine voices is in choir rehearsal when he was asking them to harmonize. Except for seeing who is singing. They could really sing, so I don't know why every full song even background vocal theme music That continuous use of vocoder made it sound like a Roger Troutman production. IJS.
