Sit back, get lost in the characters and the songs. Movies are meant to entertain, they’re meant to be an escape from your everyday life. And that’s what’s so great about a film like this. But Singin’ in the Rain is among my favorite films and there’s more than a few references to it here.

But there are those that aren’t into characters singing and dancing (and certainly not in 2016). It’s not that it’s a polarizing film, truthfully there’s nothing to dislike. In La La Land, anything is possible and it shows that the journey is the most exciting part of it all.Īs good as the film was, there will be those who won’t like it. There might be a future for Sebastian and Mia and there might not be. But when they’re together they sing and dance. Mia, frustrated with her lack of success as an actress, writes her own play. But fate has a way of intertwining young lovers and soon Sebastian has a gig in a successful band that takes him on tour. She works in a coffee shop at the Warner lot just to make ends meet. And Mia (Emma Stone), a struggling actress trying to make her mark in Hollywood. We’re introduced to Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a struggling jazz pianist who longs to open a place of his own. Opening on a crowded Los Angeles highway, we’re treated to a song and dance routine that’s a good indication that we’re not in for just another film. Start tappin’ your toes, we’re going to take a trip… The two stars, Ryan Gosling (who lost the Best Actor Academy Award to Casey Affleck for Manchester by the Sea) and Emma Stone (who won Best Actress), have worked together before – twice.

A throwback to the Warner musicals of the 50’s and 60’s, La La Land is a film that’s in love with Hollywood. That being said, it wouldn’t have surprised anyone had the film picked up the statue for Best Picture and after seeing it, it would have been well-deserved. Ultimately this went to Moonlight as the best film of the year, but not before the ensemble from La La Land gathered to accept their award. The wrong film was read as winning Best Picture. True, the film won six Oscars in some very major categories, but it’s the slip up between actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway that will most likely be remembered for one of the biggest errors in the history of the telecast. I’m willing to bet that the night of Februis a night that the cast and crew of La La Land won’t soon forget. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound?
