This candy-coated confection is so irresistible that you’re captivated by its sentiment even as you acknowledge its manipulations. Read full review

Though the comic confection's clunky moments keep it from achieving soufflé delicacy, its bright zingers and seamless fantasy sequences amp the playfulness, and the mostly unforced performances complement the production's cartoonish exuberance. Read full review
