That's one of the things that frustrated me about the film. I like musicals, but this barely qualifies as musical. This is like watching a bad episode of Glee, and again, I liked Glee.

I thought the musical portions with like the game show in his head made sense as a realistic take on Joker who is insane and how he would view his odd relationship with this woman also in an insane asylum. The parts where he sang to her softly were weird IMO but maybe how he thought he could reconnect to her even though the former portions weren't real.
