I can't believe that I watched the whole movie. I should get a free order of fish and chips just for watching this piece of chum. Hans Christian Andersen must have turned in his grave to see what this movie, loosely based on his fairytale, became. I have to at least say that the tails were well done. According to the trivia section, they weighed 50 pounds and that suggests that it wasn't GCI. This was a mishmash. No order in the script, bad singing, not great acting. What was the whole death scene with the band members about? Then they came magically alive when some blonde gave them IV's. A horror musical? Well, it can't compare to Rocky Horror Picture Show. That one made sense. I also read that 2,000 young woman were auditioned for the mermaid roles. I would have kept looking. Neither one was very attractive or talented, as the rest of the cast wasn't. I don't know why this got positive reviews. Maybe I'm just not avantgarde enough, but I have watched several movies that would fall under avantgarde status and enjoyed. This was not one of them.
