Oh Geez...

Does anyone in Hollywood ever get feedback on their scripts? I am watching this and right away I have major problems with it.
Where does it take place? One second it feels like Queens or Brooklyn (Accent Andrew Dice), then it seems like they are in Texas, then California. What? Could you establish just the basic geography first?
And no subtleties at all. Could they make the characters ease in a little, or do we have to open on a raging alcoholic (Cooper)?
So he leaves the concert, alone, looking for a bar, and why not a gay/drag queen bar? Because after all, that is where an alpha male country boy would enter. What? Mind you, the driver doesn't know the neighborhood, so it was randomly picked, but right after he meets Gaga, he takes her to a bar he knows. Why didn't he go there first? Because nothing makes in Hollywood for the most part. But I digress. The Gaga meeting was so movie staged. He JUST met her and they are already hand fondling and staring each other down.
And the reason why she hadn't made it is because of her nose? What? Because everyone in the world thinks she is a star and an amazing singer but passed on her because she had a "bad" nose.
What happens next? Gaga punches some random fan? What? Who wrote this? No one living in reality.
And why is Cooper trying too much to be Kris Kristofferson?
After a romantic night spent together, Gaga RUSHES out of the car.... what?
Cooper tried so hard to make it "real" it became staged and phony.
And then the phony "playing hard to get" by Gaga, but her body language screams YES! Did they write the script with an ax?
And then we get the cliche "no, no, I don't want to go on stage," but she does eventually after 3 seconds and then the scene we have seen in a million movies: "shy at first on the mic, then belts and gets the ovation."
This is so all over the place, I am not sure why people would like this? They gave ZERO reason why Gaga would fall for him. She played hard to get and then boom they were a couple. Forget that he is a raging alcoholic because that is just what this girl wanted. She usually uses a typewriter to write lyrics, because that is what girls use. What?
I literally had to force myself to continue to watch a few minutes more without cringing. The story was rushed, the scenes staged, and just not believable.
