Not what I thought it would be

Rating: 2/10 (22 September 2017)

I really don't enjoy giving reviews this low of a rate, but when critics and the awards communities give something such high marks I expect to be impressed. I most definitely was... NOT. I LOVE CINEMA regardless of genre or time period and I LOVE MUSIC. I didn't get great (or memorable) music nor did I see a great film. I really don't understand y critics were so enamored with this because it completely fell flat. I am a fan of Stone & Gosling but compared to Crazy, Stupid, Love their chemistry was atrocious; actually they were worse than the horrible Gangster Squad. This was supposed to be emotional and romantic but as a couple these 2 didn't experience anything worthwhile. I just don't understand what critics were thinking when they reviewed this (except the Corn Flicks Movies reviewer who thankfully didn't jump on the bandwagon)
I honestly believe there wouldn't be as BIG of a backlash against this film if it wasn't for the HUGE PRAISE it received. Critics had the public believing this could be the next Singing in the Rain and it's barely better than High School Musical 2 (I actually liked the 1st one) I just really hope & pray Hollywood will stop believing their own hype and just make stuff that challenges the human brain yet entertains us...
