I do this! Time after time after time! I do all this shite for other people! And then I wake up and I'm empty! I have nothing!

Pat (Bradley Cooper) is Bipolar. It is evident in his constant manic state. I never see the deep depression that accompanies the diagnosis, so maybe he is just manic. Unfortunately, he is off his meds, and trying to solve the problem on his own. Really stupid. He is so deluded that it is not even funny. Is this supposed to be a comedy?
He attends sessions with a therapist (Anupam Kher), but it is a waste of time due to the fact that he is not taking his meds. So, how long is it going to be before he is back in the hospital or jail?
In comes Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), the best part about this movie. She may be a little crazy, but she is doing the best thing possible for Pat. She has him committed and focused. I think it is a little unrealistic, but there is a point where he does say he is back on his meds, so maybe it was just the script.
His parents, Pat Sr. and Dolores (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver), show that the apple doesn't really fall far from the tree. They do support him in their crazy was, as does his friends.
Lawrence was fantastic, and Julia Stiles was like icing on the cake.
