Walked out after 5 minutes. The opening should have been telling when a phony freeway dance scene opened up during a traffic jam. Both main characters were card board cutouts of what was to be a boy meets girl love story. The purist jazz pianists could manage to improvise effectively on Xmas songs to make them sound like anything but a Target store shopping score... The girl was vapid and dull.. Finally could take anymore. But then -- The only musical I've ever really liked was Three Penny Opera.
Didn't live up to the hype. It's only fair.
I was disappointed in this movie although I was ready to embrace the idea of and old-fashioned musical. I found it somewhat long and slow, and the singing wasn't as good as I hoped for....maybe that's why they don't show any clips of Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone singing in the trailers. The storyline and the dancing were alright, but the movie is overrated in my opinion.
Loved this movie - I'm not usually a fan of musicals, but I loved this. Kind of an old Hollywood feel. Great story
Lame dancing, choreography and singing. Complete disappointment.
You must remember it is a musical fantasy It is charming Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are great together. But she is luminescent. Emma Stone gives. Fabulous performance.
Just loved it!!!, so beautiful, great acting!
Left after 20 minutes. Thought it would get better after opening scene. Not worth my time.
Casting for this movie was poor. The first 20 minutes left me sleepy and the rest was just disjointed
it's perfect
