I like both, Stone and Gosling as performers, but this lacks something, like chemistry, charisma and talent. Stone was irritating and about Gosling's character I could not care less.

Maybe I hate musicals? I don't. I've watched most of them and they are at least 5 stars out of 10.

The thing is, if they cut the first hour off, maybe then I'd give 5 stars...out of 10.
