First impressions suggest that this is an attempt to subvert romantic comedies with a broad sweep of the mental illness brush. Turns out it's actually an attempt to subvert drama about mental illness by turning it into a romantic comedy.

Had the misfortune of going on a date with a girl who chose this movie. Pretty much detested every minute of it!
ReplyDeleteA really formulaic romantic drama made by a superior film-maker interested in real people. Even though Bradley cooper irritates the shit out of me and he's playing a not easy to like guy I wanted things to work out for him. De Niro actually did some acting for the first time in a decade or more. The phrase "Jennifer Lawrence is excellent" will be said a lot for the next 40+ years. Bloody good!
