Ten minutes was enough

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2014)

I have no patience with movies that present unlikeable, irritating, screeching boors like the character Bradley Cooper plays. Complaining about a Hemingway novel. Getting violent in therapy because he simply cannot STAND a song. Naturally this is played like Jack Nicholson's "epic" abuse of a waitress in Five Easy Pieces--wow, standing up against the psychiatric bigshots, aren't you a Rebel Boy. Naturally, the psychiatrists and other patients are played as dullards simply because they aren't as Speshul as Bradley.
After I had to listen to De Niro and another actor do a clichéd-stuffed discussion of which sports team is best (translation: Bobby Picks Up A Check), followed by Cooper trashing an office and being completely ignorant aboutHemingway, I switched off the DVD player. This one is a stinker all around.
