I liked it more than I thought I would. It was different than I expected. I didn't love the end though.

I just want to know what he whispered to Nikki.

I thought it was a good movie. J Law and Bradley Cooper are hot. The storyline was interesting enough. I thought their dance was hilarious and awkward.

I did.  I read it before seeing the movie.  The details of the book are nothing at all like the movie.  I can't say that I liked one more than the other except IMO, the movie had a better ending.

Maybe I watched it when I was in a weird mood, but I didn't think it was all that great. Maybe I was expecting more because of all of the hype, but I just don't see what the big deal was about it. I wanted so much to like it as much as everyone else has, and I love Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence.....but I just didn't like it that much.

I want to watch this soon, hopefully I can convince H tomorrow.

I read the book after seeing the movie, and I liked the movie better. There are a lot of differences.

I read the book first and did not like the changes they made to the movie. I think had I watched the movie first I would have liked it more.

This. I don't get the buzz.

I saw it in the local indie theater before it went into wide release. I went in pretty cold since the over-the-top hype had not started yet. It was OK- a fun way to spend a late afternoon. Some of the crazy talk was refreshingly honest and very funny.

The movie was formulaic and predictible. I wanted to like it- it was filmed near where my BFF lives and we stumbled onto the set one afternoon running errands. Cooper and Lawrence were charming, but was disappointed in the supporting cast. De Niro clearly phoned his role in and Weaver and Tucker ended up as one dimensional caricatures.

I LOVED it.

I was hooked from the beginning when BC's Pat had the same reaction to Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms as I did.
