I'm going home home

Rating: 6/10 (9 August 2017)

This is a story about two people Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) and Mia (Emma Stone) who cross paths looking to find their dream of fame. It is a throwback to the great musical films. The film is critically acclaimed and indeed people who love those old musicals and theater in general fall in love with anything that might emulate the Golden Age of filmdom.
I love Emma Stone and everything I have seen her in. This was not her film. The singing while okay, but uneven. Were they lip-syncing? I kept thinking Anne Kendrick would have nailed it better. And Ryan Gosling, I still haven't figured out how he lands parts, although I did like him in that one thing...or was that Ryan Reynolds? The throwback aspect made me think this was a Woody Allen film for non-intellectuals. The dialogue was bland while at the same time tried too hard.
Worth a view if your into that kind of entertainment. I thought is was mediocre as a musical and a chick flick. And Emma, geez girl, get some sun.
