Disappointing "meal"

Rating: 5/10 (12 May 2019)

Watching La La Land is like going to a restaurant that everyone raves about. We had high expectations. The meal starts with rainbow shaved ice. The food takes a while to come, but once it does is good. And just when you like it and are ready for dessert, they bring out a bowl of hot and sour soup to finish off. The movie took about 20 minutes to get into, started to have good chemistry and like-ability, stalled with some twists, and just when you're ready for the payoff, ripped the carpet out at the end. A story of love and hope that turns into My Best Friend's Wedding.
