1/10
Worst thing in the history of anything.

This movie is so, so bad, that i don't even know where to begin.

This movie is a musical. You can clearly see it, since they break into singing at least every 5 seconds. The songs are also really bad, not catchy and really irritating to listen to.

The protagonist's motivation is solid, but it isn't really convincing. In Uglyville (terrible name) they have everything. A nice house, nice neighborhood, good food and so on. Still, she wants to go to the "real world." The antagonist, Lou, has no motivation. I can't think of a single reason as to why he's a villain. Also, the plot twist relating to him at the end was pointless. It brought nothing, it didn't solve any problems, it was there for the sake of having a plot twist. Some of the characters were also pointless.

The character design is atrocious. They don't reflect their personality at all. Also, the dolls aren't even ugly, which is the whole point of their appearance. Once they are supposed to look "pretty", they look even uglier than before.

The dialogue is horrible, the characters are annoying, the tone changes all the time. Sometimes the humor is absurdist, where nothing makes sense (not funny). Sometimes the humor is "normal", I guess (not funny). Sometimes the movie has a serious tone, which doesn't work, since I don't care about the characters. The mood is also ruined by a bad joke or one-liner.

Sometimes the movie just brought's something up when it's convenient. Like when the protagonist gets kidnapped, a random toaster appears out of nowhere to explain the situation to her friend. When the portal to greatness gets destroyed, all of the characters simply put the glass peaces together, even though they don't know, if it will fix anything. Spoiler, it does.

All and all, nothing makes any sense, everything about this movie is wrong. Just don't watch it.
