More Songs doesn't Equal Character Depth

Though rich in culture and music, The Dirt Road to Lafayette should be a pensive stroll but it comes off more as a melancholic traipse. A lot of this is due to sluggish pacing, unnecessary side characters and an over-reliance on songs in place of character development.

Trivia
The climactic musical gig scene was filmed over the course of 2 days by filming the whole set of all the songs live back to back without cuts before covering it from a different angle. All the revelers and dancers were unpaid volunteers.
