and then you came along, so at least I'm not alone on this board in loving this film.
I really would like to know which bits were found to be disagreeable, since I think it's fantastic, although the kid weeing his pants wasn't really necessary, since it didn't take the film anywhere it wasn't already going.
It all certainly does look indulgent and pretentious on paper, but I think on screen it comes across wonderfully. When the singalong bit started the first time I saw it, I was like, "My God, what *is* he doing, but I found it in the long run to be very creative and moving, as is the case with the whol;e film.
