Entertaining but some plot holes for me

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2011)

Saw the Premiere last week in NY with Bradley Cooper and most of the stars of the movie including Deniro. This is a Bradley Cooper movie with Deniro having a fairly small part in the movie. The basic concept is that the slacker-Cooper takes a pill that allows him to access his entire brain to do all sorts of things. He is a writer with writers block. One magical pill and he finishes his book in a few days. The next thing you know he is picking stocks. The initial premise is that we has a powerful memory etc. He has no background in the financial world so for me that didn't make sense to me. The acting was fine by Cooper. I am a big Deniro fan but I think he came in and did some scenes for a few days and that was it. The movie is entertaining but as most these days will you remember it a few weeks later. Therer was some interesting camera work, reminded me of Tony Scott. For me the most exciting part was seeing some of the stars at the after party.
