Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2014)

I didn't know what to expect the first time I watched this movie and admittedly I had to watch it again to really get it... Now every time I see it on the movie channels I turn it on. It's such a good movie in so many ways. Shows how real life is for people with issues, which if you're being honest is a lot of people, nobody is perfect. I think it shows that there is hope for everyone to find some happiness in their lives. The acting in this movie is phenomenal. Jennifer Lawrence is smart, cynical and hilarious. Bradley cooper does an amazing job of showing the ups and downs of mental illness. This is a great example of a dysfunctional functioning family. I don't care how cheesy it is, but I just love a happy ending, and this one makes me feel good. It gets an A+ in my book :)
