Honestly one of my comfort movies despite darker elements. But the pacing is perfect and I just love the characters.

I loved how campy it is but also loved the characterization of the main cast. The camp dwellers all have quirky things which are endearing.

One of my fave genres- I call it bubblegum dark satire. Painful themes but so funny, a treat to look at, and feel good. Watch it!
