What I liked:
- Ryan Gosling was charming.
- Emma Stone was lovely.
- Josh Groban!
- Jonah Bobo was excellent
- Relative new comer, Analeigh Tipton played her part well.
- It had some good songs in it.
- It had a few twists that I didn't see coming.
- It had some really great moments.
What I didn't like:
- Where was Emma Stone? Did she have 15 minutes of screen time?
- Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, and Steve Carell were just ok.
- Could have used more of Marisa Tomei.
- What was with the weird music that played every time Gosling walked into a scene?
- There were some weird choices for camera shots.
- A lot of the scenes in the beginning were very short. It was hard to get involved in the film when they quickly moved from one story to another.
- There were three different scenes that allegedly took place on different days but the characters all wore the same exact clothes.
- There were a couple of inappropriate scenes involving minors.
- Some of the story lines and character development didn't make sense.
Grade: C+
I will have to disagree with you on one thing, Ryan Gosling. I have watched many of his flicks but his charisma and man swagger in this movie tops the charts. I even think he made me blush a few times....
ReplyDeleteI will agree the other characters are, eeehh, but Mr. Gosling makes up for it all and some.
