Certainly the Marmite syndrome ..... reviews have a definite pattern of wow, wow, no! I fall into the no, this is awful camp. Maybe because I love the old musicals I hate La La Land. It's trying to ram the old style musical down your throat forgetting to add in talking for the benefit of building a story. One of those were I took up knitting, tapestry, encouraging monkeys in their efforts to type Shakespeare in order to distract my self from this film.
