bland bland. Bale wins

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2013)

Well I can just say that David O. Russel and I don't see eye to eye on stylistic film making. I didn't quite feel like I was in the 70's besides the outrageous outfits and totally distracting hair. Even with hair and wardrobe, Christian Bale still nailed it. As he did in The Fighter. That movie grabbed me, it inspired me, and reeled me in.. I can't say the same for Silver Linings Playbook or this one. I might give David O. Russel another try in the future.. Only if he uses Christian Bale again but that's about it. In the end, this movie was a big let down for me. With all the raving reviews around it, i expected more. It's a movie with incredible actors who i felt tried to conquer each other on set. And only Christian Bale won.
