One word ... saccharine

Rating: 3/10 (8 November 2018)

Forget the songs that all sound the same and were CLEARLY written before there was a film (you can tell by the vagueness of the lyrics and how some of them don't make any sense in the context of the film). Forget the overly auto-tuned vocalists even ones who don't need to be auto-tuned!! Forget the multitude of under developed or one-dimensional characters we're never given a chance to care about. Even forget the constant moralistic hammering of equality equality EQUALITY into every single freaking scene.
The overwhelming feeling of this film is ... in one word ... saccharine. As in NAUSEATINGLY sweet. Sappy. Mawkish. There's no real drama no real heart, and the film makes it impossible to believe that anything will get these spunky go-getters down for too long. PUKE.
Look I didn't hate it ... it wasn't nearly as bad as La La Land which I had to turn off within 30 minutes because it was so terrible. I DID end up fast forwarding through the songs after 3rd or 4th one because there was nothing gained by them and I have a life.
Maybe that's the bar: if you liked La La Land ... you'll probably like this. If you thought La La Land was irredeemable dreck then definitely do not waste your time on this movie.
