A Nice Feel Good Film

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2017)

Wasn't quit sure what to make of it when I saw the trailer, but I have say it's a film that actually pleasantly surprised me.
Basically it's nice feel good film, which had the feel of a Hollywood musical from the 1950s didn't have the same impact but I guess they were trying to give it modern day look, which didn't quite work but for me is still a decent film, that has your foot tapping at times during the musical numbers.
Started off well with a grand opening but I felt a bit flat in the middle but ended on a high, although the ending felt a bit bittersweet
Normally not that keen on Ryan Gosling but he actually surprised me in this film, he does have some acting talent after all! Emma Stone as usual just seems to light up the screen with her presence and played off well against Gosling.
If you wanting a film that offers you an alternative to bloods, guts, guns and swearing this is for you. Will have you singing to yourself as you leave the cinema.
I am a sucker for a musical :-)
