The Good, the Bad and the Dream Land:

• A truly beautiful movie with soul, wit, charm, style and love, featuring memorable musicals and dance sequences that will get you toe-tapping throughout the film.

• The film explores the notion of money versus art in Hollywood where noble aspects of creativity are often ignored to focus on the monetary aspects of the industry.

• The movie mixes classic musical elements with modern touches, and pays homage to many of the oldies with dance numbers from the 50s.

• Featuring two superb lead performances from Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the film is full of charisma and is a story that you rarely see in cinemas nowadays.

Trivia:

• Emma Watson turned down the role of Mia due to scheduling conflicts with "Beauty and the Beast", and coincidentally, Ryan Gosling turned down the role of Beast in that film to appear in "La La Land".
