Review of Prison Song (2001) by Runbeerrun S — 30 Jul 2006
Heartfelt, but a total mess in terms of pacing and script. This was originally intended as a full hip-hop musical, but most of the musical numbers were cut when it tested poorly. The few remaining scenes of the characters rapping or singing are jarring; almost as bad are the dozens of plot points the filmmakers try to cram into a 90-minute movie.
But hey, Elvis Costello shows up in a pair of tiny roles and gets to wear a terrible wig!
