I wanna start with, this movie was far from perfect. Far. But this much negativity isn't warranted. Also, it says based off of the ORIGINAL story by Hans Christian Andersen. Not based off the cartoon version by Disney. I got from the movie what I got from the original fairy tale. The OG fairy tales were dark and some of them (including The Little Mermaid) had sexual parts.
Was she a stripper in the original story? No. But the prince made her dance for him. So I can see the inspiration there.
SPOILER ALERT He sleeps with another woman (and marries her) in the original story. And they end the exact same. If you have a problem with this ending then I suggest not reading the OG story and stick to your kid friendly cartoon.
The acting by most of the actors was great I felt like. The main stripper girl and the guy at the beginning could've been better..... The sound was atrocious in some parts. Most of these people don't have many credits to their name (besides the sound guy surprisingly..............) so I think it was good all things considered. Would've rated a couple of stars lower had the negative reviews not been so drastically harsh.
