    It was a musical where most of the music was one or two actors half singing, half talking, with no instruments in the background.
    Either make a movie or make a musical, don’t get stuck halfway in between.

      We stopped watching about halfway through because of those exact reasons. The movie could have been great, but was put together badly.

      My wife and I agreed on an opinion: The director seemed forced to make it a musical because Gaga. Honestly, she wasn’t half bad in the role she was playing, but the musical style turned the entire thing into a Gaga tribute which wasn’t what anybody wanted to see.
