This is supposed to be the movie that swept the Razzies?? Huh. Huh. I just had a great time. What a fun movie.

The cinematography is incredible, which makes it all the funnier how heavily it was criticized for being shot in black and white. The genuine affection for 30s screwball comedies and women's films is really charming. It's very self-knowingly silly, and owns it.

Prince really got a budget just to hang out in his sluttiest possible outfits while being shot as gorgeously as possible, and good for him honestly.

everyone I've heard who gives a shit about the razzies agrees that they somehow manage to outdo the oscars in terms of their sheer superficiality and mean-spiritedness, as to be expected for a shitty parody that wore out its novelty decades ago, so it doesn't surprise me that a movie they "famously" panned would turn out to be just a bit too fruity for the reaganite hellscape of the 80s

as i've read about razzies over the years and what gets them and how, it strikes me as just kind of the lesser bully table of a high school cafeteria: still basically in line with The Man but due to low standing, life's mission is to point out and shame outliers in hopes of impressing said The Man
