Great review!. The buzz surrounding Jennifer Lawrence's performance is incredibly strong; everyone is talking/writing about how amazing she is in this film so, between the extremely positive word of mouth, the undeniable chemistry between Lawrence and Cooper and the fact that it was filmed/takes place in Philly makes me REALLY want to see this film.

Another film where Bradley Cooper displays his fantastic acting chops. Seems like 2012 is going to be a good year for Cooper with this and Place Beyond The Pines. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets Oscar nominated next year.

Your review makes it sound-not necessarily in the way it's done, just in terms of a comparison-like "As Good As It Gets," a film that was a comedy but was never firmly placed in that category that featured two leads (the male being the main focus) that give incredible performances and an incredibly strong supporting member. Does that comparison sound right? I hope so. I love that film

God I am sick of the Jennifer Lawrence hype. I've watched pretty much all her movies and see nothing special.

David O. Russell makes my skin crawl.

Why does a film have to say something about "how men and women relate to each other," if it shows how one woman and one man — two individuals – relate to each other? Isn't that actually what it should all get down to in the end? It sounds like the critic's asking for some shallow gender stereotyping this movie blessedly avoids.

Lawrence is one of the most talented actresses I've ever seen. Between this and the Hunger Games she better be nominated for something. Quite a year.

Thrilled for J. Law but I can't get back how big of a douche Russell is/continues to be. Plus I still think him getting nominated over Nolan in 2010 for Best Director was hogwash. I know you guys tend to say that you don't compare letter grades from one film to another, but I'm a little bummed this film has been given a solid A and not my favorite film of 2012 (thus far) THE MASTER. In any case, thanks for all of these review Kevin.

Robert De Niro is back, acting well in a great film? Am I dreaming? Thanks, David O. Russell!
