I am not into musicals, but 'Spirited' just may be the single best ADULT christmas movie musical EVER.
I mean, the fucking set pieces ALONE. Seriously, this movie must have been expensive as FUCK.
Either way, as I said: I ain't into musicals. And there were two shitty parts of this movie: Will Farrel can NOT sing. Carry a tune? Sure. Make it a pleasant one? Not really... And it is LAYERED. There are so many plots and subplots, it's a lot to take in. It's not overdone, but WAY more backstory and info than a typical christmas movie. You kinda gotta pay attention. Especially cuz they make a lot of references to previous scenes/jokes.
Anyways, I am going to try to stay away from giving away too much, cuz it is worth every fucking second. I mean, fuck, I LOATHE dance numbers, and mother fuckers: I was THOROUGHLY impressed with the dance pieces. They were clearly months of training professionals. Turns out, I kinda like tap. To get this many people, this coordinated, this..perfect. Unimaginable skill from the entire staff.
I will try to stay away from specific details, but these plot points do give a lot away so SPOILERS!
How 'Adult'?
1-one of the FIRST BIG NUMBERS, they make a light joke about being on molly.
2-a ghost fucks a human. That actually happens in this film.
3-Say 'fuck you' as many ways as possible without saying it (good afternoon).
4-talk seriously about online bullying.
5-talk seriously about letting kids be kids (not holding every little thing they do wrong over their head)
6-confront kid suicide from bullying. They do not outright SAY it, but they point that at it in every direction.
7-show how adults can, indirectly, use kids to harm other kids.
8-expose how businesses/politicians use misinformation and divisions to control and profit. (I told you there were a LOT of layers to this movie)
9-Adult suicide.
10-<BIGGEST SPOILER OF THE WHOLE MOVIE> They KILL the main character. Like, you NEVER see it coming.
There's plot holes galore, but you don't fucking care. You enjoy yourself the entire time. One of the few times I wasn't checking how much was left of the movie.
Spirited: 9.2/10. A near PERFECT movie. It has something for everyone. Literally.
ps-Fav part? I don't have just one. 3-Will farrel singing. He CAN NOT sing, but, because of that, it actually makes the whole thing feel a lot more real. Authentic. Cuz if they autotuned him....ew. 2-the ending. Cuz I had a lot of guesses, and I wasn't actually that close. I am notorious for figuring out endings on little info, and I didn't see this one's coming. 1-I mentioned it before, but I was right. The funniest moment of the movie, but, you need the build up of ALL the rest of the movie to make it THAT funny. When the taxi driver says 'good afternoon'. That is one of the funniest moments of ANY movie. I PROMISE you will laugh.

Rohit Shetty has been filming the action sequences for the film's last leg at Golden Tobacco Factory. A separate grand set has been built for this song. The shoot was originally scheduled for April 15 but has been pushed back to today. Ganesh Acharya is choreographing the song with 400 background dancers. The main cast will film the number over the next four days. However, Deepika Padukone might not be able to participate, as the actress is currently expecting her first child.
According to a report in Mid-day, the source revealed, “Ganesh Acharya is choreographing it, and has hired 400 background dancers. The primary cast will film the vibrant number over the next four days. However, Deepika, who is among the newest entrants in the cop verse, might give it a miss.”
Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama recently reported that Shetty is now eyeing Diwali 2024 release date and will push from Independence Day 2024 release, making way for Pushpa 2: The Rule. "Rohit Shetty, Ajay Devgn, and the team have been shooting day and night for Singham Again with the will to bring it during the August 15, 2024 weekend. However, the shoot is taking longer than expected as a film like Singham Again requires a lot of attention. Rohit and Ajay don't want to rush through the proceedings only to make it to a certain release date. They want the scale and vision to come out exactly as fleshed on the paper without any compromise," a trade source told Bollywood Hungama.
Rohit and Ajay have already conveyed their idea of delaying the film to Jio Studios and the date of August 15 is now vacant. "Jio has suggested a Diwali 2024 release to Rohit and Ajay, and the duo is also considering the date. The timelines of VFX and background score are now being reworked keeping the Diwali 2024 deadline in mind. Diwali has also proved to be lucky for Ajay and Rohit combo," the source told us.
An official announcement about the new release date of Singham Again is expected to be made shortly, but at the moment, the film is 100% pushed from the already announced date of August 15, 2024.
