There be some funny shit in this here cake. Ain't gonna give surprises away, though. Music adds and subtracts, entertainment-wise. At times, a goofy and well-timed tune will turbo-boost your smile, or undo your non-laugh. Fucking excellent. However, some background music comes across as cheesier and cheaper-sounding than it needs to be—my personal preference favors grindhouse myujik that has a bit more funk, menace, or goofy testosterone. There's a fair degree of musical repetition as well as homogeneity, and some of the lesser tunes draw attention to themselves while making the dialogue sound dim. Such features could be credit toward grindhouseyness, but here they make the viewing challenging in parts—which is a shame, given the many hilarious moments in this soup, or dammit, was it cake we were metaphor-pimping? Some scenes could do without any music at all. The sound effects and visual gags would have been humor enough. Dude, with a little more attention to mixing sound and delving for some apropos songs, this edit could have been simply dangerous. njoijoi: 7 pelvic aerothrusts.
