Intricate

Overall the movie was good and quite interesting. The way the story was told was very different and clever, the transition from scene to scene was amazing. The story itselsf was the issue for me here. The characters didn't have so much depth and the intimate part was very lacky, considering the nature of the movie, but it was a very good and pleasant experience. I wish it had been more clever written with more intense dialogues as in "Eyes Wide Shut".
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This is an amazing story and it's based on a true one. Robert Downey Jr is at his best, I had never seen him so good in a movie. The story is very inspiring and touching and it's almost like a bromance, because definitely there's something special that keep them together that I don't know what to call, maybe friendship ? But beautiful nonetherless. The movie has several layers: the friendship, the homelessness, the social work part, the mental illness side, etc. It's a little too long but worth seeing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Cohen Brothers style

I had seen before the movie "No Country for Old Man" (Cohen Brothers) and I loved it, this movie is a little bit more frantic than that, but it's the Cohen Brothers at their best. If you don't like violence (many times gratuituos) don't go see it, this movie is not for you, but if you have a sense of humor about it, you're gonna have a blast. The story is quite interesting but I was still waiting for a Hollywood ending, that's not gonna happen here, but overall an excellent movie with outstanding acting.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is a great movie with 2 fantastic comedienes, they've been proving that comedy is not only a guy thing.
The movie also features other great actors, not really mentioned on the commercials for the movie: Steve Martin, Greg Kennier and Dax Shepard.
Very funny lines and Se and the City-esque situations. Loved the movie and definitely recomend to anyone.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
