Even on re-watch, the GoCompare man twist may be one of cinema’s most unpredictable moments.

I’m a huge Madge fan but somehow I’ve never seen this despite having been a fan of the Holy Trinity that is “You Must Love Me”, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”, and “Another Suitcase in Another Hall” for years.
Aside from the big three that I already knew, I also loved the campiness of “Rainbow Tour”, “Rainbow High” and the one where she was using men to get more jobs that suddenly turns into a radio jingle half way through.…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Perhaps more of a 5.5/10 but I’m being generous and rounding up. It doesn’t do anything new or exciting, but there’s enough blood/guts/beheadings to make it an entertaining experience.
The characters in these sorts of films are usually totally throwaway, and I’m not saying these ones will be memorable but they were at least likeable. How sweet were closeted gay duo Rust and Cole!!!
I also quite liked the young versus old generational dynamic. It obviously wasn’t going for any deep social commentary but it did make a few points. It’s always the old people trying to ruin a nice world for us.

1986
The most perfect movie ever. Ashman and Menken created musical theatre magic with this. Obsessed with everything Ellen Greene brings to this role. Steve Martin is also ridiculous amounts of fun. The practical effects are so impressive and help give this a timeless feel. This will never get old for me and will always remain one of my absolute favourites of all time. If I was on the red carpet and the Letterboxd interviewer was asking me for my four favourites then this would undoubtedly make the cut!
