One for the arty farty brigade

Rating: 5/10 (21 January 2017)

I saw a trailer for this and was pumped for it. I love Jazz. I love modern jive. I love dance. I love theatre. But for me it fails miserably. After watching trailer, I was expecting something along the lines of Grease, Mama Mia or a good old fashioned Singing in the Rain type affair. If you are an 'arty farty' type person it may be your thing. It was long. There was a lot of material that just felt like 'filler'. It felt disjointed. There was nothing memorable about it. Most of the time we were wondering where it was going. The ending was abrupt. It was clever, but after such a long film, I felt this bit was neglected. It felt rushed. I love the actors but this one is easily forgotten. Won't be watching this again. Disappointed.
