Movie review: Trish and I watched this movie last night which we thoroughly enjoyed. Even though it had a tendency to glamorize mental disorders (bi-polar, depression, OCD and anxiety), it seemed to accurately depict the good side of our human condition even when we find ourselves struggling with mental dysfunction. The one thing I found very funny was the portrayal of the struggles we have with impulse control and boundaries. I loved to watch Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro speak without boundaries, saying exactly what was on their mind. Too often, Im afraid, we wish we could speak this way, but alas, we are civil, respectful and never say the things we are thinking. Well, they did in this movie and it was entertaining and funny. It is a positive movie and leaves one with a smile, leaning into acceptance of our broken, human condition. I recommend it.
