It was frustratingly one-dimensional, and I kept asking myself, "what was the point of that scene? I hope it pays off later."
Narrator: "It didn't pay off later."
That's not to say there's nothing to appreciate in the film, but it just felt sort of pointless to me overall.
5/10.

After reading this and other reviews on it, I can't bring myself to watch it. It seems like hollywood pretentious nonsense. I also can't stand Bradley Cooper. He has an air of superiority and artificiality in almost all his movies and his interviews. The roles he takes he always exaggerates that it's like nails on a chalk board. Somehow critics love the overacting and pretentious roles. Meh. I'd rather watch the movie with Meathead Efron.
