With all the awards given this movie, I expected something stunning--from the movie to the acting. In fact, I'm bewildered how this movie and especially Jennifer Lawrence, has been picking up awards. A slow beginning, nice acting from Brad Cooper, irritating work from Robert De Niro who can't help being Robert De Niro, a plot that we can all figure out from about the 10th minute of the movie--an okay movie, but absolutely nothing special. All right--the final dance sequence is nice. Jennifer Lawrence seems to be on the way to being another Robert De Niro--capable of only being her somewhat unpleasant self.
We stayed to watch another movie--Quartet--and salvaged our night with that charming show, that had exactly and hour and a half's worth of story in it, and that's what we got. Go watch what the grownups can do.
Cons slow, utterly predictable
No, I do not recommend this movie.
