Last weekend, myself and my partner duly toddles of the the odeon ,gets comfy and so it began .

Opening scene , people in a traffic jam on the freeway. Gosling gets out his car and bursts into song , everyone else gets out their car and bursts into song , at this point my girlfriend looks at me as if to say WTF. Dont worry I think its Ryan Gosling , any minute now he will be involved in some serious acting that will be thought provoking , sad and happy all rolled into one.
After an hour of watching him sing and dance his way through the film (and ****ing tap dance FFS) we had to evacuate the building.
Its a musical like the sound of music , no its worse than the sound of music . Its terrible.
If you like musicals fill yer boots. I hated it.

I may hate it as not a huge fan of musicals but, Emma Stone..

Indeed Sir!
Up until recently, I used to occasionally work with a woman (who must have been in her 30's) who was not just a lookalike, but an absolute doppelganger of Ms Stone
She used to make my thingy go funny.

I just gave it a go, lasted 40mins. All very well singing and a dancing but there was no effing plot. Nice scenery etc but slower than Morrison in concrete wellies. Not for me.

I did warn you.

I didnt enjoy it. Fences was excellent though.

I tried it, enjoyed the first 20 or so minutes, had to give up around the hour mark.
Even with Emma Stone, its just really dull.
I understand the awards noms as its a film in love with Hollywood, but I don't get the fawning critical response at all.
