I finally got around to viewing this tonight and after reading all the hype I was disappointed. I don't want to be too harsh on Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone because they are obviously not singers or dancers and it was brave of them to do this.

To be honest I am not a lover of musicals but I do like jazz. Many times after seeing a movie whether it is a musical or not there is some music or song that sticks with me and I end up buying the soundtrack but that will not be the case with La La Land.

Last month I bought the newly released blu-ray of The Boy Friend by Ken Russell which I saw in a theatre in 1971 and is one of the few musicals that I love. While watching La La Land I couldn't help but think how it paled in comparison to The Boy Friend in terms of music, dancing and amazing musical numbers.
