As funny as the previews were, not all of it was that impressive.

Pluses:

1. Great music, especially the romantic score.
   
2. Finely done animation, for the most part. However, I still find Trenderhoof's snappy walking a little awkward, but that's just me.
   
3. AJ's sarcastic accent is hilarious, and so is Rarity's southern voice (at first).
   
4. Beside the "have-Spike-haul/push-a-heavy-object" scene, he was treated with respect and wasn't stuck as the flat comic reliever all the time. At the supporting role, he was the levelheaded, mature half of the Spike-Rarity duo, ala Lesson Zero and EQG. More of this and less of the Spikabuse from the likes of RTM or CM-ia, the better.
   
5. When Trenderhoof pointed at Derpy and said, "the unappreciated." I don't know what that is aimed at, whether it's her censorship in TLR or the higher-ups for suggesting it, but it gave me some laughs.
   
6. This:

Minuses:

1. Both Trendy Hipster and Rarity become way too stupid for their own good. Their obsessions turned Trenderhoof into an incompetent oaf and Rarity an inept flanderization. Most of Act 2' and 3's humor, particularly Rarity's swooning, was painful to watch.
   
2. The resolution is resolved way too quickly and makes the whole ending anticlimactic.
   
3. Pinkie, retrieve your damn brain. You're way too intelligent to have others shut you up.
   
4. Rarity's southern accent was funny at first, but upon second viewing, it got worn out in a hurry.
   

In short, blah and meh. Not something I'd rewatch for a while.
