overrated hype

Rating: 1/10 (24 January 2017)

Overrated hype, not worth the cinema ticket. Confused plot that didn't seem to be sincere, but not a comedy, Ryan can't sing,it was dreadful and pitiful, mis-cast and disappointing. Not sure he can dance, just a series of poses for the camera no real acting ability or belief in the character, really,it is a crock of s**t, nothing memorable about the soundtrack other than some of the jazz, the opening sequences were pointless to the film, couldn't work out what they were singing about as the playback was of a poor quality, this format should be left in the past & forgotten about, don't waste your money, my companion fell asleep during the film, it was that boring, glad when it was over. As musicals go this was hopeless, when you compare to other "modern" productions, such as Bugsy Malone, Grease, Chicago, this does not stand-up to scrutiny, a case of "emperor's new clothes". Awful.
