It's good, sometimes brilliant but looks fantastic nonetheless.

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2014)

Not as charming as Silver Linings Playbook but with enough heart. The cast performances and the 70's setting help the film shine and whilst the script doesn't ignite me I think it's a worthy film. Silver Linings was a film I enjoyed, loved a lot at some points and mainly stuck with because of the cast. I feel the same about this, It's certainly not bad, it's just not one I completely love. The film did look wonderful, the detail and costumes really fitted with the decade portrayed and although the plot seemed to be a little unfocused it held together in the end. I have Silver linings on DVD, I probably won't be getting this, but I do look forward to the next collaboration from Lawrence, Cooper and Russell.
