FINALLY A MOVIE IN WHICH RYAN GOSLING CAN BE HAPPY (...sort of)

TELL A FRIEND TO TELL A FRIEND, RYAN GOSLING IS BACK!! (And he always finds a way to show his thumbs up...or thumbs down)

I always say that my brother is a HUGE Ryan Gosling fan before any review of his movies, and it's honestly thanks to him that I went to the theaters to watch this one. He bugged us up and we did go, IT WAS…
