I really enjoyed this movie. It was nostalgic and fun, less than serious, and had a surprise ending that cracked me right up and made me sad at the same time. Isn't that worth giving this movie a try?
La La Land is the story of an aspiring actress and a jazz musician in Hollywood. As they become successful they are faced with decisions that could destroy their love affair and the dreams they worked so hard for.
I love all the song and dance numbers which reminded me so much of the "old" days of movies like . . .
Just give it a try. I have a funny feeling that if you allow yourself to accept all the cheesiness, you will love it.
