I have an eclectic taste in films, so am not averse to a "good" musical - especially with impressive dance routines. West Side Story is one of my favourites, with brilliant songs, choreography and a powerful story. Mama Mia was superbly acted and sung and loads of fun. But Lala Land is so stale, dated and tacky! OK so there are some talented performers in it but the story line is shallow and trite and the music is so dated - they deserved a much better script than this! It might be considered to be a tribute to Old Style Hollywood by some but Singing in the Rain it ain't! It's not even close to that standard. I was bitterly disappointed and have no idea why it has won so many awards. I truly regret the time and money I spent going to see it!
