Not my cup of tea, pretty corny.
Yeah, this one felt odd. To me, it seemed like it had a huge identity crisis in terms of style. It tried to be both Singin' in the Rain and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg at the same time. Obviously this mix of style worked for a lot of people, given all the acclaim it's been getting... but to me it just felt off. As a musical, it was so lacking. It was like all the song numbers were trying so hard to be casual, messy, understated, but then they weren't memorable at all.
