What a waste

Rating: 1/10 (19 February 2017)

As soon as the trailer for this movie came out, I had a vague notion that it would garner a lot of praise from Hollywood, and be thoroughly undeserving.
The wife was on me to see it, and I begrudgingly relented, when I thought my mood that Sunday afternoon would be best suited to stomaching this tripe.
Unfortunately, I couldn't stomach it.
Hollywood is far too in love with itself. Someone, somewhere along the line, needed to tell them that Emma Stone's and Ryan Gosling's voices aren't up the leads in a musical. The only decent song that I can even vaguely remember included Gosling whistling, I watched the movie 18 hours ago and that's the best I've got.
The acting isn't up to scratch from the two leads, and if either of them win an Oscar it will be a travesty.
How this film could win over Lion, Hidden Figures, or Hacksaw Ridge is beyond me. And I went into Lion and Hidden Figures sure I wouldn't fall in love with them either! I wish I could tell you this film gets better towards the end, but I fell asleep, it was that bad.
Don't bother
