I had to search to find this thread since nobody has posted on it in months, only to find half of the thread is a pretty annoying Twitter assault. Cool. Anyway..
Bradley Cooper's character and scenes were great. The (super) brief John C Reilly cameo made me laugh out loud. The leads were both very good and there were moments of genuine humor and sweetness.
But overall this movie kinda sucked. I couldn't decide if it was edited poorly or just intentionally weird for the sake of being weird, but the pacing was awful. Runtime was way too long. The thread of the story is pretty gross when you take a step back and think about what you're watching. And there were too many scenes where I was sort of invested, but mostly because I was trying to figure out if I missed something or if I was watching an inside joke.
Can't believe this has 91% on rotten tomatoes. One of the few movies I've walked out of in a long time knowing I have zero desire to see it again.
When Twitter reactions first drop, before any of us have had a chance to see the movie, I post them in nearly every thread for nearly every "big" movie of note, and have done so for years, because people seem to generally appreciate it. I'm so sorry you had to wade through those. It must have been traumatic.
