I love musicals, but I must have missed the stand in the theater where they were handing our the cool-aid for this one. Sorry, but I grew up musicals entertaining life and work, but this is corns. None of the "stars" are the expected style or quality. The story is grotesquely poor and without logic. Gosling is pathetic, I was left with the desire of someone who closes the keyboard cover in their hands, the voice of the stones allow you to pray for a good dose of pharyngitis. In short singing or even dancing the promotional machine Hollywood continues to tell us how great it is and people believe it. In short I lost 2 hours, 7 minutes and 3 seconds of my life. For our summer trips to Australia, it is almost as bad as the passengers.

I think it must be an exercise in navel-gazing, as the awards bodies see themselves in these two characters. Haven't they all struggled to get auditions? Haven't they all had screen tests? Haven't they all tried to "make it" in Hollywood? of course they have. The awards givers like looking at themselves in the mirror. Personally I do not like what they see. Don't bother wasting your energy, or you will quit halfway through, as I did. 0 out of 10.
