Stephen J Henstridge
I cannot understand all the good reviews this has had. It is boring and depressing; a dull story with characters it's hard to care about. This is Hollywood being self-indulgent. Neither lead can sing or dance well. This, I would have thought, would be a prerequisite for a musical. The first two song & dance sequences were uninspiring, though the later ones were an improvement; the finale was quite good in terms of editing. Some of the jazz piano, etc., was good but otherwise there's only one catchy tune in the whole movie - and you'll be sick of hearing it by the end.

It's a clever movie because after the first viewing you're thinking this is so original and fresh, but watch it again and it's not at all. Its like the writer has made a mix tape of his favourite movies. Emma Stone is great, Ryan Gosling is cool...nuff said.

I don't normally watch such romantic films but I found this to be a lovely film. A nice happy story that does not feel 2 hours long it has some enjoyable songs and I even surprised myself and liked some of the dancing I have knocked off one star because It is not that original a storyline and I have enjoyed other musicals more But I would recomend this film overall
