I'm very impressed that these folks pulled off a musical in only 48 hours, especially one with such great music. As part of the 48 Hour Film Project in Atlanta, 2004, this group had one of the best produced films, in terms of production value. This film looked wonderful. It also had some great acting to go along with the superb songs (one of which even contained the required "line of dialogue" from the contest rules).
My only complaint would be that the film just kind of ended. The main character seems to figure out that the mysterious orb is from aliens just out of the blue. And then, poof, the story just kind of ends. I would have liked to have seen a bit more to the story. I realize it is difficult given the time limitations (both in run time and in shooting time), as well as trying to fit the songs in. It just didn't leave me satisfied at the end.
That being said, the film was well done, humorous, and very impressive for a 48-hour project.
