One of the nuttiest movies I have seen for a long time and it was delightfully pure entertainment with its only agenda being to make us smile. It's not meant to be taken seriously at all and that is a rare thing these days. Every movie, including the awful Barbie movie,wants to preach to us about something.
This a fictionalised story of how Pop Tarts were invented, all a fun filled fantasy that includes real figures from the 60s. A cast filled with famous faces and all playing their parts perfectly.
I was actually born in 1963 and at first I was sort of put off by some of the anachronisms, but soon I really didn't care because I was having so much fun. James Marsden flexing his biceps as Jack LaLanne, perfect. Stand out was Hugh Grant as Thurl Ravenscroft, a Disney legend as well as the voice of Tony the Tiger.
Just put it on, turn your brain off and enjoy.
It did lose a point for a tasteless joke about Astronaut Gus Grissom, who died along with two other astronauts in the Apollo1 tragedy. Unnecessary and I could have done without it.
