What's the fuss about it?

Rating: 7/10 (13 January 2013)

Okay! So SLP has emotions, amazing performances, wonderful story and screenplay and some fresh writing... but I give it a 7 and it cannot beat my favorite rom-com this year, Moonrise Kingdom!. Here's why:
You take up the long-lost and beloved genre of rom-com and take up all the Oscar winners' tit bits and you make a movie. You add some emotions, shaky camera-work (which they term realistic), great actors and you get SLP. It's a simple drama and I couldn't find comedy in it. Yeah, it made my partner cry... so what? I induces emotions, yes I appreciate that. But to be very frank, I didn't really enjoy much watching SLP till it reached the climax. And another thing was, I could somehow predict what was to happen. Well, it might have appealed to the stereotypical or electrolytic people but I have to announce - this doesn't work anymore. You may have bagged a lots of accolades, but god, it doesn't intrigue!
Now, the Bradley is amazing, Jennifer Lawrence is child labour. First Hungry Games, then that House at the end of street drama and now this! And I hear she received some other critics award. Oh, god spare me the horror and please give it to Chastain!
Anupam Kher acts dumb, so does De Niro sometimes. To conclude, I would recommend it but I have to admit - it is a one time watch! :(
WATCH OUT FOR: Chris Tucker!
