I loved this movie! I would watch it anytime! All the comments below are simply not true. They don't understand how great this movie really is! I would recommend this to anyone who loves to sing and dance! 5 star!

Don't remember

this one won an Oscar for Emma Stone, yet my younger (yet still old ) brother recently referred to her as 'not a good actress.' he had seen her in BIRDLAND, also, so I don't know WHAT GOES ON, in his head. Maybe he was quoting (unbeknownst to me) either my nephew, sister-in-law, or elderly father (for whom I have already found a birthday gift, from the ground, outside a metro bus station, outside crossroads shopping center, yesterday evening).

I know La La Land won many awards but the story wasn't anything I haven't seen/read before - struggling actor/musician romance. Colorful cinematography. For me, the Bonus Material was more interesting than the movie. It's like a Broadway story that went straight to screen 1st - watch for it on Broadway in future.

The imagery and colours are sharp, diverse, and well complemented. The production value is top notch, the pacing is good. The story is cheesy and unimaginative. The plot is as one thought up by an ignorant eighteen year old in film school in L.A.

The movie is about romance. It is about two people who actually love each other enough to step aside and allow the other to achieve their dream. The one wanted an old jazz club to preserve old jazz and the other wanted to be an actress. However, to stay together as a couple one of them would have to sacrifice their dream. But because they actually loved each other and was unselfish they wanted to see each other succeed in their dreams. At the end of the movie you find that each is successful in life and with their careers but they still have the compassion for each other. But they are truly happy in allowing each other reach their careers in life. It was a well performance and the Ryan Gosling was well suited for the part. The movie is of reality and does not have a fairy tail ending.

I just don't understand why people were so obsessed with this movie.

I call it Blah Blah Bland, if that tells you anything.

My personal all time favorite movie of all time is The Music Man. So I LOVE musicals. This one did not catch me. The lead into for the music came out of nowhere and literally scared me. Emma Whatever (there are so many) was very good in her acting, but Gosling was a HUGE bore. All of his dialogue could be replaced with "Jazz, jazz; all that jazz". Their chemistry was nonexistent, and when they didn't get together, it came off as hokey, and relieved because I didn't want to see them together. The choreography was top notch, but the big colorful dance scene in many of the trailers is only at the end and only for a few seconds. woo hoo. The plot was out of date and lame, and had potential, but the jazz angle was obnoxious, and no chemistry. better off watching a classic. Just goes to show the Academy Awards are rigged; how did this win?

Most children under 12 would find this movie boring. My opinion of La La Land is that it was a slightly pointless movie with no plot.
