and its a little annoying and drags in parts, but its not a terrible movie and is definitely enjoyable

I do have mixed feelings about turning some weighty history into circus farce & the gestures towards deeper emotional engagement don't always work & seem at times merely gestural. But as a confection, it offers a lot of pleasure.
