So so

Rating: 4/10 (10 February 2017)

I dragged my gf to watch this film, and both of us left feeling a bit 'so what...' I can't critisise a film because they do great great marketing, but the Oscar nominations obviously mean something and I cannot see why the committee thinks so highly of it. I was thinking about films to compare it with and the nearest was Pretty Woman which is head and shoulders better. So why? The two leads showed very little chemistry between them, both of them seemingly only half-interested in life; drifting from scene to scene. The filming has a very studio-lot feel about it, slightly artificial and cartoonish. (I'm sure that's what they wanted, it just seemed weak.) And the music has virtually no memorable numbers. I so wanted to like this film, but...
