'LOVELY' is the word for it.

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2014)

The movie is exquisite. It demonstrates about what happens when a mad man meets a mad woman. The story is about a man who gets back to his previous life after a stint in a mental institution and wishes to have a new beginning.
The plot is totally worth admiration. There are scenes which make you laugh, there are those ones which make you cry, and above all, throughout the movie, you are absolutely contented. Both leads, in spite of not being very much experienced have delivered unbelievably dazzling performances. The movie possesses a normal pace, filled with all the necessary drama and an ideal conclusion.
They assuredly couldn't have assembled a better cast. No wonder both the leading stars got nominated at the Academy Awards for 'Best Actor/Actress In A Leading Role' category. Bradley Cooper, who was the male lead, was unarguably striking. He was definitely the most appropriate choice for the leading character. Jennifer Lawrence played the female lead and notwithstanding the fact that she had a lot lesser screen time than her co-star, she was stunningly spectacular. Robert De Niro in a vital supporting role was charming as ever. Other supporting characters enacted by Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker and Anupam Kher too were creditable. Minor roles played by John Ortiz, Shea Wingham and Paul Herman were mediocre as well.
You can rarely find a flaw in the direction and screenplay. The screenplay particularly is in a class all by itself. David O. Russell yet another time after his globally acclaimed project 'The Fighter' has managed to win the audience's love. Editing and Cinematography departments are thoroughly appreciable. Music by Danny Elfman has been pleasant too.
Summarizing everything, the movie has turned out to be one of the most delectable flicks I have ever come across. It is silly, it is hysterical, it is fine and dandy and most importantly, it is beautiful. People who take pleasure in watching romantic comedies are bound to fall in love with this one. Take out 2 hours from your busy lives and spend them in watching this one and you will cherish it, take my word for it.
