Yes, yes, yes...I KNOW it's not meant to be taken seriously.
But; as with SO many "humorous" odes to older movies, it is NOT humorous.
Other commenters on here have claimed for example, that everyone in the cast is dressed in period clothes (that period supposedly being the 1950's), when in fact only a few are.
They claim the props are all period faithful...they aren't. I don't think I saw even one 1950's car; the oldest was maybe late 60's at best.
They claim 'the kids' use correct period expressions...I don't think the M. G. driving 'kid' telling his girlfriend's Dad she's a slut over the phone is exactly 'period correct'.
It's easy to see what the makers were trying to do; and I'm sure they're all avid fans of films of the period; but they are NOT good film-makers themselves.
I have to assume that a lot of the people giving rave reviews here, are either in someway related to the film, or very easily amused.
