And thats being fairly generous. I like singing and dancing, and prancing and bouncing off the walls and other moving objects like any other sensible nutjob. But this movie was a bit torturous. I wonder if it would have worked to slingshot the careers of these two actors 20 years back, though whats his face was already a well known actor, but was still transitioning from that weird moody phase of his ( was he dark haired back then or always blonde? Do I care?). The film was enjoyable for some really good music and the ideas of people just having to put up or shut up and do what needs to be done was real talk. Growing up can be hard, everyones gotta do it though. Yet for the two characters to just rub each other the wrong way so often and the needless drama...I really have to wonder if thats because producers thought " this is just what chicks dig" or I dont know what other reason for it all. Yes, Emma Stone has grown up well and is very funny, interesting and pretty. So along with the cool sequences that are dream like a little, the film was not a total loss.That ending though... 6/10
