I get it, sad depression reality crossed with happy peppy songs done up with big time production numbers. The only problem is that gets old about the third time in and from there it's just repeat ad nauseum until you get a brutal real ending sold out by a tacked on routine at the end. This is an idea movie but the problem is the idea just isn't worth 2 hours. A couple of the routines, like the Walken one are some quality stuff, but there's just a barrage of nastiness and depressing soul crushing brutality that there's no reason to subject yourself to in everything else. Probably sounded better on paper than in practice.
