This is a cool film that does not fit into any particular niche but it’s a very good movie. Part drama, part comedy, and part love story. SLP is about a teacher played by Cooper who loses it one day and spends time in a mental institution. After being released he moves back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. Things get more challenging when he meets Tiffany played by Jenifer Lawrence who was the breakout star of Hunger Games. It’s amazing how Bradley Cooper was in Wedding Crashers and no one noticed him. Now after Hangover he is a leading man. Can anyone become a star? Cooper’s prior movie, Limitless, I felt was high gloss nonsense and made Robert De Niro look like a putz. But in this 2nd pairing with De Niro Cooper shows that he can be a good actor and Robert De Niro, who plays his father, still shows that he can act and has a little fire in the belly. Chris Tucker, who has not been in a movie in 5 years, is in a understated supporting role that works for him.
Veridict:
This movie is about how losers can win. Cooper will be able to break away from Hangover because in this film he shows that he has skills. He should be nominated for an Oscar. What do you think?
