It has some of the least diegetic musical numbers I've ever seen, with nonsensical lyrics. The film feels like a strange piece of pop art with random recognizable elements being incorporated into the numbers seeming for the sake of doing it (ie Fred Astaire clones). I'd say this one deserves an audience, even if its on the basis of watching it stoned, it feels like what Hoberman called 'Vulgar Modernism' Must see.

This movie is hard not to like even if the plot seems like it was scribbled on the back of a napkin by a 5 year old

Jovial "budget musical" that is preferable to most A list musicals.
