After getting over the fact neither of the two actors in this movie deserve leading roles, I steeled myself to watch this movie and thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt.

The movie starts with a song and dance on the freeway and everyone getting out of their vehicles and dancing and singing together. Sadly this was supposed to be one of the highlights of the movie. As I said I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt but the first song was forgettable, boring and the voices weak. The dancing looked extremely forced and clumsy.

As the movie progressed I couldn't believe how bad it actually was. I don't know anything about Ryan Gosling other than he is no leading man in my view. Contrary to what others would have you believe, he is not handsome. Eyes too close together, a very long face and a perpetual gormless look. Emma Stone isn't much better.

It was actually very difficult to watch the entire movie. It's slow and amateurish and looks like it was directed by a 15 year old. The sets look cheap and the whole thing made on a budget of $500.

It also seemed like it was made in the late 1970s. A TV musical. Wholly forgettable. HIGHLY overrated. Madly so, it's criminal.

Avoid, unless you're being paid well by someone to say it's great.
