"Pla-Ra was behind the piano with a mouthful of barna grass and I started to play Beethoven. Pla-Ra was chewing, and as soon as I played the first chords, he stopped eating with stalks of Barna grass protruding from each side of his mouth, and that's the way he stayed until the end of the piece."

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
