Hype

Rating: 3/10 (5 September 2012)

Hype+1. Cinematography+1. Special Effect+1. Mr. Gosling's Acting+0 ( you call that acting?) Ms. Mulligan's Acting+0 (bad actress syndrome, need I say more?) Music+0 I can just see a million teen douche-bags out there went home after the movie and dug out their parents' old crusty 80's best hits collection. Plot+0 (what plot? I knew how the ending would be 20 min. into it!)
To sum it up: I actually enjoyed the opening scene of the film. It was excellent. But it went downhill real fast. I mean, it was just stereotype after stereotype. Totally predictable plot. Most of the scenes were stretched out beyond belief...so pretentious! There were not a lot of dialogues...probably a good thing because I swear, every time Ryan Gosling opened his mouth, I laughed uncontrollably. I'm glad I rented this. I don't think I can watch it again. 3/10
