“Yes, Awful. Dated by the time I see this. Our singer in a self indulgent rant about things gone by. Thankfuly warned ahead of time by our opening credits that there will be 15 songs. Better to have been sung in his personal shower. Off key voice that cracks and scratches itu0026#39;s way through some of the most awfully written lyrics. The music in a basic form, any high schooler could follow. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot impressed to say the least, a complete waste of my time. Smallish, unseen audience, must be close family and friends because someone is clapping after the songs. The onlookers in the background are amusing, but then the curtain closes and we see Hitchcock in a dark, candlelight setting rambling on about who knows what, and then you start to miss the actual entertainment from the street side of things. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHair whipping? Really? His hair is short and has enough hairspray to hold back a gale force wind, yet heu0026#39;s trying to flip something from his face? u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHis in between song ramblings I could clearly do without. Is this some kind of British humor? I just didnu0026#39;t get it. His tidbits of personal reflection I could do without. Could have shaved off painful minutes if it was left on the cutting room floor. I can clearly see why Iu0026#39;ve never heard of this guy and his act. And why it grossed $3,000 at a box office? Must have been that set of close family and friends watching the movie to see if they were in it?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSorry, this oneu0026#39;s a loser.”
