A Good Movie About Coping With Mental Illness

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2019)

First off I have not read the book that this movie is based on so I cannot comment on changes that were made and having said that this movie was both entertaining and educational to watch. The script was well written as it really showed how mental illness can effect people and there was a good mixture of comedic and dramatic scenes. However the profanity that was used seemed to be excessive but the actors all did a great job in their roles especially Robert DeNiro and Chris Tucker who proved that he could do dramatic roles without using a lot of profanity. The cinematography was mostly excellent but there were continuity errors along with other mistakes and the dance choreography was outstanding along with the soundtrack. Also on the DVD that I watched there were deleted scenes that I wish could have remained in the movie, a featurette about the movie and some behind the scenes footage all of which are worth watching.
