Critics hate it but to real film lovers it's a gem. Characters and plot that shouldn't work but do, with absurdly funny scenes. Some of the singing may be truly awful (in a funny way), but other songs are toe-tappingly catchy. You know it's time for you to mosey on down to join in under Ouseburn's very own Wanderin' Star!
