Why am I the only one that gets this movie?

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2013)

This movie is not about mental illness!
Bradley Cooper plays Pat, a man that is madly in love with his wife. When he comes home from work he finds her in the shower with another man. He goes ballistic and severely beats up the other man. Since you cannot legally beat up your wife's lover, criminal charges were filed. As part of that proceeding Pat is forced to be institutionalized and therapy thereafter.
He is pursued by Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who's husband recently died. She is clearly looking for companionship by sleeping with all of her co-workers as a way of obtaining human contact. In our society when a woman chooses to have a lot of sex, we decide that she has a mental problem, there's even a name for it. These two people are not mentally ill, they are both suffering from a broken heart. Pat has a panic attack when he hears his wedding song being played. This is not crazy but part of his withdrawal from the woman he loves.
I feel sorry for the woman who wrote a review and said that her son suffers from bi-polar disorder. She is correct that Pat and Tiffany are not behaving like crazy people. They are having withdrawal symptoms from past relationships.
When they come together as a couple at the end, you know that true love is not a cure for mental illness. But as a cure for a broken heart it does just dandy.
