An amazing gem of a movie even for people who are not typically fans of musicals!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2017)

After years of Hollywood filth, uninteresting, and painful to watch movies, I found this gem of a movie that has tugged at my heart like no other.
I took my wife to see this movie after seeing the trailer, but had no idea it was a musical. We both are not fans of musicals and during the first opening sequence she looked at me and jokingly said "I'm going to kill you!" and I just shrugged. After another song, we were both more drawn into the movie. Finally Mia walks into the restaurant that Sebastian is working at, playing one of the most moving, sad, and romantic pieces I have heard in a movie. The soundtrack really helped to set the emotion of the movie.
La La Land is one of the most fun, inspiring, romantic, and sad movies we had seen in years. Ryan and Emma's chemistry on screen is undeniable and made the movie so believable. It's been a couple of days since we have seen the movie and we are both still listening to the soundtrack and talking about the movie.
