What I Liked: Nothing really stood out as a like for me other than the attempt at humor and plot in general made it more entertaining than the comparable Yankee Doodle Dandy.

What I Disliked: I wasn’t fond of the characters Pop and Mabel and thought they sort of detracted from the focus of the movie at times.

Grade: 2.5 out of 5 (Satisfactory)
Rationale: Nothing special but nothing terrible; just ok
