Just decided to dive into musicals a while ago and watched The Greatest Showman. Then google suggested La La Land. Looking at the fact that, it was rated better than The Greatest Showman, I decided to give it a try. I thoroughly enjoyed TGS so maybe I went into watching this one with too many expectations, but this one was...merh.

The story was just too plain. I feel like it could've been cut down to one and a half hours and still be okay. Unlike TGS, only one song in this one pulled me in and that was the one Ryan Gosling whistled. Ryan and Emma both are great actors. It just feels that the production didn't give them much to work. It took me two days to finish watching the full movie.

I'm still dazzled that this movie is rated so highly and bagged 6 oscars. The Greatest Showman is far better and has a plot good enough to not make you want to sleep.
