Just got back from seeing the film, and I was quite pleasantly surprised. Gaga absolutely carries it on her shoulders, and the only times it feels anywhere near the 3 hour runtime is when she's not onscreen. As some have said, it probably could've done with being a miniseries honestly, because the final third does feel like it rushes through a lot of stuff in a very short amount of time but then we wouldn't have a fourth Oscar nomination for Stefani, so who am I to argue?
And I don't care what anybody says, Jared Leto was amazing and absolutely embodied the role of Chef Boyardee.
