Review of La La Land (2016) by 43In2014 — 02 Mar 2017
The short story: The film wakes you up at the beginning and then makes you love the two leads as they go through their struggles with work and love life. I love it!

What's it like?: It starts with an upbeat song about the aspirations of those who wish to succeed in LA that really wakes you up and make you hunger for more. It then elaborates on what an actor and a musician would need to do to succeed in LA, as they fall in love with each other and you fall in love with them. It’s a musical, but one that you can tolerate as it doesn’t unnecessarily go into a song at every opportunity.

Pros:
>.
1. The opening upbeat song, Another Day of Sun, wakes you and prepares you to like the rest of the film.
>.
2. The two leads are very charming and you’d love them to make it in the end.
>.
3. All of the other songs are as good as the opener.
>.
4. This is a musical that you can tolerate as the actors do not unnecessarily break into song at every opportunity.
>.
5. The melancholic ending. The best love stories have melancholic endings.
>.
Cons: The ending? Ha ha… No, that’s not a con. Think Casablanca.

How would the different age groups rate it?
Children: Good.
Teenagers: Good Young adults: Excellent.
Medium age adults: Excellent.
