Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 1/4 (Bad)
Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). Doesn't make any sense. Half the numbers don't fit in with the hotel theme, which makes the awful attempt at a connecting story not only annoying, but pointless. Only one of the dances is even entertaining, and that lasts about one minute (in a 20-some minute film).
Objective Rating (Average): 0.8/4 (Very bad)
