This movie is as awful as it is terrible. Five minutes in and I looked at my wife and said, "we have to leave." But we stayed. We stayed through the horrendous set design, the commically nauseating CGI, and the confusing plot. And I understand that it's originally a Broadway musical, but I haven't seen the musical, so I had to gather what was going on while seeing it. All of the story is in the songs, so if you can't understand what is being said, or lose focus for a second (an easy thing to do while you're thinking, "what the f&$# did I just see"), you're totally lost. This was an actual string of thoughts I had during the first ten or fifteen minutes: 1) what the hell does jellicles mean? 2) oh, they're not going to explain it 3) wow, this song is annoying. Like how you can take a riff from reggae music and and put it anywhere in a compilation of reggae songs and you generally won't change anything in the song, if you take those string of thoughts and put them anywhere in the movie, you'll still be right on.
