Thumbs La La down

Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2017)

How can a film be so tiring? Is it its duration, or the immaturity and naiveness that covers all of its existence? I am afraid it is the latter, simply because there have been numerous films throughout the history of cinema, of such duration and longer that have not carried all those negative characteristics like this film does.
By trying so much to recreate an era, a romantic era, that existed (only in films) so many decades ago and place it in our era, what they have managed to do is fill a two hour film, with cliché and silly unconnected scenes that even for someone, who goes to the movies for the first time, will be easily seen without much thought or effort. So much dancing and fake sentiment, and so much sunshine, music and singing that allow me to say it is an offence to the real deal: true musicals that will always be remembered and will never be created again. That for a future reference...
Overestimated? Unworthy of such plethora of awards and nominations? Absolutely! I simply, an open minded person, wanted to see what was all that fuss, all the enthusiasm, applauding and high ranking. Instead I was rewarded with...a yawn and just a tiny bit of frustration.
