Mental illnesses are not this much fun.

Rating: 7/10 (13 November 2012)

From my own experiences, medical rehabilitation is less "feel better on your own" and more "take drugs to fix you". My father pointed out several times in the movie where Pat (Bradley Cooper) would have been sent back to the hospital immediately. Doctors are not as lenient as they're made out to be here, especially in cases like Pat's (with harm to others). This movie was also surprisingly focused on football. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I guess I'm a bit peeved that it wasn't advertised as such. I've also read a lot of flak about the age difference between Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) and Pat, but get over it people, not everybody falls in love with someone their own age. But aside from those parts, I very much enjoyed the movie. I love Jennifer Lawrence like mad, and Cooper and Robert De Niro work well together. (And surprise! Chris Tucker is a funny guy.)
