This film is a bit over-hyped. 14 Oscar nominations, seriously?

I saw this film yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it won't stick with me for a very long time. The story is too flimsy. It misses edge, plot, drama... It misses depth.

I was tricked by the beautiful and inspiring trailer, which summarizes the film actually. I was also tricked by the misses who really really wanted to see this film (which she didn't like as much as she thought she would)

To go short, positive aspects of Lalaland: theme song, performance of Emma Stone, scenery and colors.

Negative aspects of Lalaland: flimsy scenario without much edge, inconsistencies, sappy songs (besides theme song) and average film all in all.

I wouldn't even call this film a musical, because there isn't that much music in the film... And definitively not enough jazz...

Three people walked out of the cinema yesterday (out of 15 people). Hardly a sign that this is a must-see movie, no?
