Nice to look at, pleasant but nothing special. Yes they had to learn some dance numbers and to play the piano but that does not all of a sudden mean this is some incredible movie. It was just fine. not bad. not memorable. I sat down with an open mind ready for a new cinematic experience and left without any reason to recommend it to anyone. i had heard of the incredible acting from Ryan gosling and Emma stone but found no real moments that made me buy in to the relationship they had. not once was an emotion drawn out of me for the entire movie even as charming as the actors in this movie have the ability to be. so by all means watch this movie but you will find it a challenge to remember it after a week.
