This is the start of (and end of) the movie and I laughed myself 
silly too. My fav stretch in the movie. It got my comedic expecations 
high right off the bat. The song has also been STUCK in my head ever 
since. 
I should say this movie is worth a rent or a cheap ticket price. It 
has some moments that are funny. The music scenes are often worth it 
in a fun sort of way. Some joke work, more don't. Plot is contrived 
(HELLO....90% of HOLLYWOOD COMEDY)...but I've suffered through worse 
movies. If one goes, just go with low expectations and be happy when 
you laugh and/or tap your toes.  And if you must, close your ears 
during pen clicking scenes.
