Really Disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2017)

I saw this film with my mum who wanted a day out to watch a nice film. She's very into titles like Dirty Dancing, Greece and the sound of music. Which she read reviews and with all its critical acclaim (which are totally erroneous) wanted to see the film. When we came out of the cinema however, we both looked at each other. Then i asked "well what did you think?" My mum merely replied "that was awful."
The plot of the film was simplistic and to be honest, non existent. There was no chemistry between the characters (Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling) and the film didn't really grasp any genre. It wasn't a musical which it seemed like it with two long sections at the start. But didn't really wow you or tell a story. The film also seemed to forget about dancing or singing, halfway through when there was hardly any. This was apart from the films same song which is repeated so many times it became loathsome.
The was as well only really two characters in the whole film. Two leads can make or break a film. In this there was nothing really that made that characters memorable or interesting in this convoluted story. The film also lasted far too long with a bizarre ending which didn't particularly make sense.
I do think this film was totally overrated by critics, this is not a film which anyone should waste their time seeing. which anyone should see.
