One once but twice did I put this film on - just to stop it after 20 minutes! The third time it was the only movie option I had. Seriously - I love Emma Stone, she's amazing! Ryan gosling is a great actor too! But this movie is just so bland - "blah blah land". I actually do love movies with a slower pace, and the storyline doesn't have to evolve quickly for me. But this movie? The storyline is so boring! No, if you want a newer good musical (I'm not really into musicals) put on the greatest showman. I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this movie. If I could turn back time - I would have gone for a walk instead of watching this movie. Maybe I would have seen a squirrel or something - that would have been more interesting and a better use of my time.
