It is a fun, silly, endearing performance that manages to both pastiche and satirize the fairytale concept of love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the one hand, Annie entirely and boldly embodies every cheesy convention of the romantic comedy genre so the typical, sardonic, postmodern audience can see clearly the absurdity in the lies that Annie is feeding to herself. Yet,<em> Love Love Love: The Movie<\/em> also celebrates our ability, and often our willingness, to want to believe in this kind of idea of love: \u00a0that it can be magical and transcend the harsh realities of a cold world and exist even when it seems utterly impossible. This need to hold on tight to our hope adds a layer of poignancy to Fitzpatrick\u2019s satire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are also some hilarious and unique star power moments for Fitzpatrick including a cameo by Pornstar Barbie (and Ken) and some vocally flawless Britney Spears. Overall, Fitzpatrick is exuberant and delightful; be prepared to laugh and, at times, be tempted to sing along to the play\u2019s awesome soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TWISI Rating:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/4-of-5-stars.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1994\" alt=\"4 of 5 stars\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/4-of-5-stars.jpg\" width=\"234\" height=\"57\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cupidity plays at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artgalleryofnovascotia.ca\/en\/AGNS_Halifax\/default.aspx\">Art Gallery of Nova Scotia<\/a>\u00a0(1723 Hollis Street)\u00a0as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlanticfringe.ca\">Atlantic Fringe Festival<\/a> at the following times:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Thurs.
