La La Land had all the workings of a cheesy, fun musical. I enjoyed some of the songs throughout the film, especially “City of Stars.” When I went to watch this film, I was not sure about what to expect. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone would be the last people I would cast for a musical. Therefore, in the beginning I did not expect much from them musically. However, I was pleasantly surprised that they sounded okay. The plot of this musical was the typical story of two struggling entertainers trying to make it in a world that does not really appreciate their craft. Eventually, they both succeed and become the top of their game. This however comes with a trade off. Throughout the movie Mia (Emma Stone) and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) were involved in a whirlwind romance however, they do not end up together in the end. Overall, this movie was good, not oscar nominating worthy but I guess with the lack of musicals these days it has to suffice.
