I'm pretty sure I've never seen this all the way through in one sitting and that I'd only seen parts of it randomly here and there. This movie is much sillier than I thought it was, but not always in the best of ways.

Anyway, a decent time was still had and I'm glad those gals were able to bond and, together, mostly overcome all the horrors and setbacks of their workplace.

Also, that Dolly song is undeniable.

Lastly, in this movie, someone says of someone else that they are "a wart on the nose of humanity." In Steel Magnolias (1989), someone says of someone else that they are "a boil on the butt of humanity." Odd that that sort of phrase should be in two of Dolly's films.

It's been a while since I've watched this, and while I'm sure it was always there, I was struck this time by the idea of how art flourishes in dysfunction and how sometimes the families we choose to be a part of are the dysfunction we need for that art to flourish.

I don't know, I've been under the weather all weekend and this was my take away this time while on meds and unable to fall asleep last night.

Fun enough throwback to the teen dance movies from the late 90's/early 2000's, but modernized and Desi.

I'd 2.75 this if I could.

Good lore told with great music, but it felt like 2 hours went by when it's only 96 minutes, so something was off for me here.
A nonetheless enjoyable experience, and - yeah! - I would watch a sequel.

Too early to tell if Olivia Holt should replace Vanessa Hudgens as Netflix's Queen of Christmas (*The Knight Before Christmas* sequel when?) (and yes, Rose McIver had a good run, too), but this makes a decent case for Olivia to bear the crown.

Filmed at The Town Hall Theater in New York City, the special features the final performance of Novak’s touring stand-up show “Get On Your Knees,” which premiered in 2019 and sold out multiple times. This 90-minute concert film-meets-comedy special revolves around the blowjob and is described as both raunchy and poignant, an unexpectedly philosophical, coming-of-age tale of triumph that pushes the boundaries of stand-up.
