Robert Lopez further elaborated on the song's context within the musical:
Synopsis The song is sung when Kristoff brings Anna to his "family" - the trolls who treated Anna after Elsa's earlier accident. Kristoff seeks to have Pabbie treat Anna since he fears Elsa has injured her, but the trolls think Anna is his steady girlfriend and hence try to marry the two together. The song starts with the trolls asking Anna what is turning her off from dating Kristoff, like "his unmanly blondness" or his tendency to "tinkle in the woods". Despite Kristoff protesting that Anna is already engaged, the trolls go ahead and try to wed them. They manage to get partway through the vows before Anna collapses and falls into Kristoff's arms due to her frozen heart.
Critical reception IndieWire described the song as an "arbitrary upbeat ode to love's ability to triumph over imperfection so incongruous it's displaced to the middle of Frozen's soundtrack CD". DecentFilms stated, "There's a double entendre about another type of relationship that is said to be "outside of nature's laws": The trolls, singing about Kristoff in the "Fixer-Upper" song, suggest that he has an unnatural relationship with his reindeer Sven. Yes: a bestiality joke in a Disney cartoon".So, How Gay is Disney's Frozen? Dawn described it as "the opening from Fraggle Rock".Movie Review: Frozen - Blogs - DAWN.COM
