Overall, I didn't enjoy it much, but...


...that City of Stars melody is stuck in my brain. I've been humming it all week.

I guess there is at least one song that made an impression on me.

Yes, the song was rather memorable.

Not a great movie, but "City of Stars" and the opening number were really rather great.

In fact, that damn "Just Another Day of Sun" tends to get stuck in my head for hours or days, let it and it'll turn into a monster of an earworm!

I learnt how to play "Another Day of Sun" on the piano just to get it out of my head.

Dammit, now it's started again and I don't have a piano handy!

First off, thank you guys for forcing "City of Stars" into my head again after 8 months. lol

I had to Youtube "Just Another Day of Sun" since I was drawing a complete blank. It is nice, not great for a musical though, if you can't remember the songs... (but maybe that's just a "me" problem)

Neither did I. My review: Meh.

Yup, that's what happened to me!
I finally watched the movie for the first time recently, and I was sadly disappointed. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't. But right after I watched it, I kept singing that City of Stars song 😆.
I gave the movie my own review on IMDb, basically saying it's boring and the whole musical aspect was poorly done. It's not like other musicals. I had given it 4 stars for the colorfulness. I'm sad that I didn't like it since it's such a popular movie. Can't believe it almost won best picture. The movie kind of just made me feel depressed

The movie has no great songs, and no great dancing. Set among the musicals of the 1930s through 1950s, it sounds and looks amateurish.
