How has this been nominated?

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2017)

I usually don't write reviews, but i felt in this case I had to. Having seen so many reviews and people raging about how wonderful this film is, I truly hate to say it, but oh how wrong they are. Firstly, as actors and people I enjoy Ryan and Emma's work, I think they are both incredibly talented and work well together. However, their styles and talents were not suitable for this movie, this was a musical-I would expect the actors to be better than sub-par singers. The dancing element, albeit abrupt and highly unnecessary in many cases, was well done, the routines were quite abstract and I enjoyed them. The story line was nothing more than predictable and in the end rather disappointing. I saw this movie with friends and the only reason why we didn't walk out was simply out of worry that one of us was enjoying it. (We weren't). There are no words I can use to recommend you to see this film - as I would be lying if I did.
Please don't waste your money - It is a cross between a low budget Mama Mia, and a rather terrible Hallmark movie.
