Caution: A good movie, but a way overrated movie!

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2013)

If you go into this movie thinking that you would like to see a romantic drama with some laughs, a good cast, and a good heart, then you will like this movie. If you go into this movie thinking you are about to see one of the best movies in recent years, then you will be asking yourself "Really?" throughout the entire film. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie overall. I just wish my expectations had not been so high. There was very good acting by everyone in the cast, and Jennifer Lawrence is arguably one of the prettiest actresses to come along in decades, but during much of the movie the dialogue just doesn't sound even remotely believable. There was also a contrived fight scene near the end of the movie that I guess was necessary for the plot, but it was entirely 100 percent unbelievable. Still, I would give this movie 3 out of 4 stars for the good acting and the good-natured script. The world needs more positive movies like this one.
