It takes a lot to get me to watch a musical but I really enjoyed Grease, Hair Spray and Mama Mia, so when I saw La La Land won so many Golden Globe awards and was still in theatres, I just had to see it. There were some great dance routines and a few good songs, but all in all I would say this is the most over rated movie I’ve ever seen. I had heard it started out slow so I kept waiting for the OMG moment which never came. It’s like 20 different people wrote the script for 20 different scenes. At the end, the theatre was silent. I looked behind me and a woman was engrossed with her phone. We all quietly rolled out of the theatre and it seemed like none of us quite knew what to say or feel. I asked my boyfriend and 22 year old daughter what they thought. His answer “well, I liked the jazz music”. Her answer, “it was ok but I’d never watch it again.”
