Excellent film

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2012)

This is a great little story with many layers and such good acting. The characters are people you don't necessarily like but somehow you really begin to care about them. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are just so good together. Supporting cast is quirky and flawed and equally excellent. The mental illness side of the story is told with an open and honest approach. It ultimately comes down to doing the right thing.The self absorbed life style of being mentally challenged (behavior disorders not personality) is pushed aside in order to put oneself in a place to be happy and loved. You need a "strategy" in life is so true and happiness is out there if you fight for it. That's the message I got from this fine film. Love the Philly angle! Saw it twice and my college age kids loved it too!
