Meanings
plural gigglefests
- informalAn event, film, etc. that causes plenty of giggling.
The story of an ingénue from Pittsburgh (invoking another ’80s-’90s bellwether, “Flashdance”) who takes New York by storm, “Flesh and Bone” is a solemn gigglefest, too wintry in its look and deliberate in its pacing to ascend to true camp status, but still ripe for group viewing and drinking games.
2015 November 6, Mike Hale, “Review: ‘Flesh and Bone,’ a Ballet Drama With Strippers”, in New York Times
