Too Much Fun, Loaded With Imperfections, Appealing In Spite (spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2017)

Anyone looking for Rogers & Astaire, gene Kelley,Cyd Charisse, get ready to skip this and stick with the standards.
Otherwise, I can't not love this throughout, colors blazing, LA coming into focus,and being celebrated. The appeal of these two stars, acting together and/or solo speaks for itself. Bursting into song at will, yeah that's not life, duh, but it is what keeps any good musical alive. Neither of the stars are A+ singers, but their voices still shine, and keep me wanting more.
Emma Stone is brilliant. I can't compliment her enough without getting sappy.
I went w a friend who had teenage nephews and nieces to a matinée. They were prepared to hate every minute of this experience, no guts and blood, superheroes, but they recognized Emma from a Spider-Man role. After the catchy opening, these young "sophisticates" watched in awe, and left humming, smiles on all. Maybe even the right impression.on young media-saturated minds.
I own it now, not quite the experience on a small screen, still by far, in my top 3 movies for 2016, and maybe my top 10 of all time!
