YOU WILL BE UNPREPARED.
In the 1960s, Babydoll (Emily Browning) is put in a mental asylum by her wicked stepdad where she enters an imaginary world andĀ gets to know four dancers in a brothel; together, they battle monsters and German zombies. In director Zack Snyder’s world, this is girl power on full display. To the rest of us, this is a lame-brained chance to watch cute girls in sexy outfits who fight all kinds of enemies in computer-animated environs and never breaks a sweat. Slick, fast and entertaining, but never engaging on a deeper level.
