Memorable characters played very realistically by actors. The first half was very difficult to watch but hang in there, it gets better. Interesting to see a continuum of OCD from Bradley Cooper at its worst, to DiNero and down to football fan fanatics.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fluffer
Direction, acting, photography, sweep is grand. Story too contrived and over the top smaltzy. Still it was a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Looks like Spielberg borrowed from Shane, Gone with Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, National Velvet, Kubrick and probably a few others. Plus any New Englander knows you clear the field of surface rocks before you plow.
