A Comedy-Romance that puts a smile on your Face!

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2013)

The deserved Oscar-nominated, Bradley Cooper and Oscar-winner, Jennifer Lawrence are the two actors that made this film a phenomenal success.
The change of their maturity and relationship of their usual characters came quite a shock for me when watching this. Bradley Cooper seems to be the guy more at an upper level in many ways and more out there like Limitless, Hangover, Wedding Crashers and The A-team. In this film its amazing how he can portray a character that's has a great disadvantage in life and is trying his way to recover. He expresses more emotion in this film and better than any other of his previous movies and that is what got him the Oscar nomination.
Jennifer Lawrence is a actress who has become a real star so quickly in this industry. After watching this film a couple of days after seeing the Hunger games for the first time shows on what a great actress she is from playing a 17-18 year old born survivor to at least a 5 year older recovering widow with great distress in life. That I believe is what got her the Oscar this year. This is I think her first movie of her getting to play someone much older and be able to express her full potential as an emotional actress.
I must admit I am not someone who usually watches these kind of films with an essence of romance even though it was a comedy but the comedy was something that made you laugh inside and put a smile on your face. I also can't remember the last time I shed a few tears for a film especially at the end. I am also glad to see Chris Tucker again which we haven't seen since the Rush Hour films with Jackie Chan with also a rise in his sense of maturity from his previous characters.
