Add Robert De Niro to the mix, just thrown in there to play someone's dad.
It seems like the big trend now is just recycling the same actors—you know, like how Martin Scorsese always uses Robert De Niro, or how everyone's obsessed with Leo. Except here, Bradley Cooper feels completely unnecessary...
SPOILER alert! 😉
Look, this is just one of those mediocre, totally forgettable movies—like most people have already said. It’s basically just some attempts at escaping a dreary, unfulfilled life, centered around a woman who invented mocha resé. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing her invention, but seriously, who actually wants to watch a movie about that??? 🤔 Or maybe they've reached that level of desperation where they'll film anything as long as Bradley Cooper and Jennifer are in it? Or maybe he just sat down one day and thought, "What's my next career move? I know! Let's find the most boring invention ever and try to make an even MORE boring movie about it!"
Honestly, I didn't know a thing about this before watching it, and for most of the runtime, I was just sitting there wondering where this was going and what the point even was... The answer? Nowhere. It's a totally disjointed mess. Usually, after watching something "inspiring," you feel energized and positive, right? After this, the only thing you want to do is turn on another movie just so you can forget this one existed as fast as possible!
I see it has a 6.7 on IMDb, which is way, way too high.
My rating: maybe a 3/10, and that's strictly because the cast actually managed to pull off that nightmare reasonably well.
