What the movie lacks in depth is compensated with the choreography and music. After all, this is a musical, and it is usually too much to ask for an Oscar-worthy plot in musicals. The movie disappointingly only scratched the surface of what it could have been. I'm not suggesting I have better ideas for the movie, but it generally felt somewhat empty in the story after watching it.
Despite its so-so plot, it lives up to its rating, and genre. I have yet to find one single song that I do not absolutely extol, that being said I also praise their choreography (especially Rewrite the Stars), it was just so imaginatively amalgamated and executed that it is enough to ameliorate its lack of depth in plot and more.
Overall, whether you are looking for a good plot or not, this is not a movie to be skipped - in terms of songs, it is arguably the best musical ever.
-EDIT: Added one star. I have rewatched a lot of footage, and noticed that the more you rewatch it carefully, the more you find this movie intriguing with the hidden details and easter eggs.
