Not that memorable

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2016)

The music was enjoyable, but not memorable, the professional dancers were were excellent. The leads - OK. Gosling & Stone did a good job as far as acting, but singing & dance are not their talent - at least in this movie. The story line was pretty routine, nothing all that dramatic. I had a hard time keeping awake for most of it. The ending helped redeem it, but not enough to give it more than 5 stars - for me at least. The dialog was a trite. I still remember many of the songs from the old musicals. I don't think I will remember much of anything from this. If you are looking for a nice evening with a simple , sappy story line and pleasant music, you won't be disappointed. Just don't go in with high expectations. If you disagree and love it, great. You will be pleasantly surprised.
