Wouldn't have gone if I knew it was a musical...... GLAD I DID!!

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2018)

I generally don't like musical, too many cheesy teen ones when I was growing up caused a rift, I heard La La Land was good and tried it, decent movie but still got on my nerves.
This on the other hand was fantastic, a really upbeat pop-style soundtrack that effortlessly lends itself to a sing-along version, an easy to follow plot (maybe not the way things really happened but still a better love story then Twilight) and a cast/crew that sold it. During a movie age where everything is either an adaptation of a super hero comic, a remake or a sequel it is nice to have something new and original, spearheaded by a lead actor who thought it would make a good movie, not a board who thought it would make a buck.
Go see it, buy the soundtrack and prepare to get it at home.
