  Nicolas Cage is great in this as per usual but the rest of the movie varies from chuckle-worthy self depreciative millenial humor to weird copaganda to nauseating (tongue-in-cheek?) self-help slop. Fairly standard for a post 00's big studio comedy (i.e. mostly dogshit). I liked the Dracula jokes, although this feels like one of those awful "Kick Life In The B*lls and F*ck Its Ass" self help book brought to life with a Dracula story shoehorned in as the hook.

  You gotta laugh at the blatantly horrible shit in this movie, just like you have to laugh in the face of real tragedy lest it consume you. Life is awful for everybody, and we're all out here suffering alone together. Tragically hilarious

We see her throw her weight around specifically when she expresses the desire to skip the democratic process to select a new assistant conductor, asserting that her word is final and thereby the only one that matters. She revels in talking…
