Light piece of fluff (spoiler in last paragraph)

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2017)

Like many others have said, it is Hollywood in love with itself. Well, I didn't hate it but I certainly didn't love it. I actually dozed off for a couple of minutes in the middle. I love musicals. I should write that in caps because I LOVE MUSICALS! I especially love musicals with smart lyrics and a good plot. This had neither. The stars were nice though.
This was like reading one of those sappy romance novels. And to top it all off I didn't like the ending. A happy ending would have been at least somewhat redeeming. This ending was like trying to be "real" when none of the movie was remotely real. Blah. Oh how I miss Rogers and Hammerstein, Kender and Ebb, Bob Fosse and their like. Perhaps I'll stick to Broadway musicals.
