It takes more than just a handful of songs to turn a movie into a musical. The music and choreography should serve to progress the story in some way, not interrupt it. Thats a very simple observation, but one that seems to have escaped the creative minds behind iIdlewildi. OutKast members Andre 3000 and Big Boi bring their particular brand of hip hop to the 1930s gangster drama, but instead of integrating with the film and creating harmony, the heavily stylized music grinds the story to a halt each and every time.
