Review by malice_o_conner

Major miss by marketing, and I can't help but feel like the reason this wasn't more successful was because it was like they couldn't decide what kind of movie theme it was supposed to be. The story told itself, wrapped nicely by fine acting. Truly I think this is the unapologetic Jennifer Lawrence, and see she's really finding her acting chops. While she is center stage, she holds it well, and with depth. I think also that the story was deeper than people realized as it was a very detailed story, with lots of symbolism of generational gaps, and the very idea that we are coming from whole other worlds sometimes. Only to find somehow to not only grow from one another but to even bridge the gap. Although not without some pain.

The comedy elements miss in most parts and could've even done without the majority of them. One scene also deemed the iconic scene for this movie is when Lawrence is naked, congrats you missed the point of the scene and becomes the overemphasized sales pitch for the film. However, it is more than the nudity that makes a movie, if you're in it for that, get a porno. Lawrence did a fabulous job and I haven't been her biggest fan. I think many people miss the finer details of the film because it was lost in "Hollywood" saying it needed more "cowbell". It took away from an otherwise fantastic flick. Try rewatching this and look for more of the detail and less at the "flashing signs". You will see it's much deeper than it seems on the surface.
