If that's a review you wrote when dead tired in an airport in the middle of the night -- please treat us to one you wrote wide awake in the daytime. Very well written and presented.

I always love your reviews, Robert

Thank you!

And, yeah, I was hoping that there wouldn't be a gazillion send-ups of pop culture in the musical and that'd it be a little more sincere. The movie doesn't come off as sincere to me; it's just like "Hey, look at us, we're making fun of Disney!"

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Also, the transformation of Princess Fiona from beauty into an ogre (whoops, uh, spoilers!) is pretty lame considering the obvious budget involved. It was another opportunity to get a “wow!” out of the audience, but it just didn’t work.

How is it done?

I know the people who have seen this said that Fiona's transformation is not impressive that Sutton just walks off stage for a min or two and comes back on as Ogre Fiona but seeing as it takes Brian D'J 2 hours to get into costume I still don't get how they make up her face etc. I can see that she can just step into a fat suit and wig but her face???

Can some one explain please or PM me if you don't want to post spoilers. Thanks

If you wrote that review when you were tired and frenzied, I would LOVE to read one written when you were rested and calm! WONDERFUL review! Thanks!
