Unlike other reviewers, I did manage to make it all the way through. Barely. It was kind of like a porn, but without any porn. Believe me that was the only thing that kept me going until the end... waiting, hopeful for something redeeming. Bad story (NO story), terrible script, awful acting, sound and camera work as if they were recorded on someone's Handicam. Edits between scenes that are worse than home movies. If I were Bradley Cooper, I would seek to buy out the rights to this thing and have it forever locked away. How do such bad movies ever get made? Surely there are dozens or even hundreds of scripts out there that SHOULD be made.. and made at least half-well.
... View MoreThis movie S U X. Big time. If aliens encountered this move in space, they would certainly come conquer our planet knowing how inferior we were. I can't believe I wasted 10 minutes of my life. I lost valuable IQ points in the process of watching this film. I am not a fan of Bradley Cooper anymore. Wow, I should take up acting. If he can make it big from being in this movie, I can do the same. What an awful excuse for a move. Seriously this move is bad. I have to write 10 lines about how bad this movie is. It's soooo bad. Do not waste your time. This movie should be erased from history. Please do yourself a favor and don't watch this move.
... View MoreMy boyfriend and I did like Bradley Cooper in The Hangover and a couple of his other movies. We were choosing between this one and another movie (which has one of our favorite actors). Generally it takes us a while to warm up to new or somewhat new rising stars, and we normally stick to our favorite long-standing actors. This time we figured, well, since we were on vacation, why not "bending all the rules"? (And why not? Title fits the mood....)We were very disappointed shortly after the movie began... with the acting, sound effect, and content/storyline, etc. My boyfriend fell asleep 15 minutes into the movie, and I couldn't watch any more after half an hour... I am quite generous when it comes to movie ratings; in addition, someone practically had to twist my arms for me to give up watching even a rather bad movie – hoping it'd get better... This one didn't pass my hoping! It bent it... and motivated me to write my first movie review! I am also hoping that others might take the more negative reviews into considerations before renting or buying it... It is quite a waste of time and money!
... View MoreI got this movie since the cover looked good and I do enjoy Bradley Cooper. The child actors (especially the girl) are terrible. The cinematography is like a bad 80s made for TV picture and the quality of film changes from scene to scene. The sound is bad and in some scenes sounds like your in a room with a bad echo. The lighting is inconsistent and changes within a scene. I have no idea what the plot is. After an hour I had to turn it off, something I've rarely ever done. The acting done by the Cooper and the main actress was fine, they obviously know what they are doing, and it simply highlights when bad actors come in. Its just bad.
