The first time I watched it I thought “meh” and wasn’t impressed. They lost me (spoiler alert)
with the flying into “space” thing.
Maybe I was in the wrong mood for it or something but recently I decided to watch just the first scene and ended up watching the whole thing. I fell in love with this movie! I’ve been obsessed with the soundtrack and listen to it in my car all of the time now.
Such a unique but special movie!

I should try to re-watch sometime. I think I was feeling like I HAD to like it since it was getting so much buzz. When I did sit down to watch it, I was not in the mood and I hated it and didn’t even finish it.

I loved the movie and the soundtrack. I was obsessed with the soundtrack for a long time. I think I will listen to it again today.

I really loved that movie. I'm a total sucker for musicals. DD and I saw it at the theater - it was great on the big screen.
Now I'm going to watch it this weekend while unpacking stuff.

I loved it too. I grew up in Los Angeles, which also helped. The soundtrack is awesome.

I didn't care for it. I didn't think it lived up to the hype. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I never finished it. Loved the opening number and about 20 minutes later I was so not into it.

I appreciate the spoiler alert even though it has been released for a while, I noped myself right on out. Thanks!

I loved the movie and the music, but then I grew up near LA!

I so wanted to like it. I love musicals and like Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling, but I just couldn't get into it. The songs were catchy, but the movie itself--eh. The only part I really liked was glimpsing scenes that were obviously shot in our neighborhood.

I adore this film! I was pretty obsessed when it first came out. I should put it on my list and watch my DVD again.

I'm another who loves it. Maybe because its about LA but I think its so beautiful and the soundtrack just gets stuck in my head. I love the ending too. And after I see it I always want to head up to the Observatory. Beautiful city of the angels  |

Isn't that funny? I had the same "meh" reaction when I first saw it, but it won me over upon rewatching it a couple of years later.
I find the blend of old Hollywood, modern life, familiar settings and the overall bittersweet tone appealing, though it makes me wallow in homesickness and nostalgia.

I tried watching it once. Made it about 20 minutes into it before I just couldn't anymore. No interest in trying again
