...make the inevitable stylistic comparison, the atmosphere feels like a slightly closer-to-home version of "South Park." Overlaid on bad Shakespeare, the result turns out to be surprisingly funny. In one of the most hilariously effective touches, the celebration that sets the scene for Pericles' and Thaisa's romance metamorphoses into a terrifyingly believable middle-school dance--complete with strobe lights, the electric slide and the immediate clearing of the dance floor when the slow songs begin.
