Feel-good rom-com.

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2012)

I really enjoyed this one. Solid plot and some extraordinary performances (Robert De Niro above all: I would give him an Oscar for this one). The way the main characters are rendered throughout the film is natural: it feels like they could really be someone you know in your real life. Also co-protagonists are gorgeously portrayed: Pat's family, the doctor, the neighbours (John Ortiz and Chris Tucker's characters are hilarious). Once again, Robert De Niro at his best: love the way he manages to give such depth to minor characters just by...'DeNiroizing', I'd say...them. Last words go for Jennifer Lawrence: she keeps achieving very high standards in basically any films she plays in, whatever the genre is. Here she is even better than in Winter's Bone, IMHO. And astonishingly beautiful. <3 <3 <3 Simply brilliant. Watch it.
