Brilliant! Unexpected Ryan Gosling!

Rating: 8/10 (25 August 2016)

I really enjoyed this movie. Really! The plot of the movie was a little confusing in the beginning but then it was pure pleasure! The characters were depicted by the leading actors in an amazing way. I really liked Russell Crowe that showed some of his comedy talents that were apparent already but I think that this was the first time I really enjoyed him in such a movie.
Ryan Gosling was better than I expected, not that he's not a good actor but I was afraid that Crowe would overshadow him, which did not happen in the end. A really nice movie to watch, from another time with really nice costumes and overall a nice approach.
Would really recommend for a relaxing evening with some laughs. The only downside was the plausibility of some things that happened in the movie that could be avoided keeping it more realistic.
