Why this many nominations? Absolutely mediocre!

Rating: 6/10 (23 August 2013)

I'll never understand why this movie got nominated for this many awards. It's just as good as any mediocre romance/comedy like Adam Sandler movies and such. All acts were normal (not amazing and certainly not Oscar worthy). Jacki Weaver who was nominated for best supporting actress was (IMHO) awful and did a terrible job; at some points in the theatre I was looking at her and thinking "did I really pay 15 bucks to watch this act?". Anyway, I believe this movie is highly overrated. Seeing that this cheesy movie stood beside amazing movies like Life of Pie, or Lincoln or Argo is an absolute disappointment.
