Its a completely different tone to the last film and not in a good way.

He mostly keeps to himself, intermittently interacting with the abusive guards, the main one played byBrendan Gleeson.

The musical conceit has a lot of potential.

But withFolie a Deux, the idea seems half-baked.

Fleck gets an impressive tap number, but the film is otherwise devoid of any choreography.

Sorry, Little Monsters, Gaga adds nothing to the proceedings.

A middling courtroom tale and half-baked musical is not the kind of victory lap anyone wants.

Your best bet is to go rewatchThe Peoples Jokerand pretend this never happened.
