3/5

For a musical film, [it's] not very musical at all, with a discordant soundtrack that sounds like castoff 90s R&B and vocalists not up to the task of meeting the melodies.

5/5

This London may be punctuated with dashes of neon and flashes of magic, but it also feels real because it's reflecting the true-to-life multicultural community.

Loved that Real life issues were put out on the table for all to feast on but they could've kept all the singing.

This kind of controversial ?? is a strong proof that not even rotten tomato can stay honest with rating movies when it comes to rate a diversity movie and with it's ratings wants to send a message: no matter how talentless and senseless a movie is if it's diverse it's automatically the best movie to watch. This movie has a story and script of a 40 iq and a very stereotypical approach. No one knows or cares about this movie and the only reason i rated it it's because rotten ?? gave it 100% which is fake. 100% for this and 71% for interstellar? Everything has to stay pc and fake there is no more honesty left in the media.

Even when it falls short from being a truly great musical, it's still a good romantic comedy musical, and those aren't so easy to come by.
