I watched this film for two reasons; The first was simply Bradley Cooper, who knocked me out in American Hustle and entertained in the Hangover movies, in particular the first installment, the second reason was wife pressure! I reluctantly started watching but was quickly intrigued with Bradley's performance and was curious regarding the alluded to history at the start of the film. History that had brought Bradley's character (Adam) to where he found himself at that moment in the film, and I wanted to know that history! What an entertaining vehicle, it never disappointed and once engaged there was no way I was not going to see it to the end! Bradley you've become a fine actor and I look forward to more of your performances! By the way the supporting cast was superb!

You can't view this movie from a critical perspective, dissecting it for realism and walking away disappointed because it fell short in some way, it's nothing more than a adult cartoon. This movie is just pure unadulterated entertainment where characters are injured in ways that would have terminated their existence yet somehow, like Wile E Coyote, they survive (Danny McBride's character sustains multiple potentially fatal injuries)! A movie made to entertain and that is just good clean fun and which happily (from my perspective) showcases Amber Heard. Seth Rogan involves himself in movies that I want to watch simply because of his involvement and if James Franco, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride are in it then all the better. You need or want some light hearted fun sprinkled with barrel laughs then this is your vehicle!

Too old now but if I had to do it all over again I'd take a long train ride on a luxury train in India. A train that stopped at interesting places and gave it's passengers time to explore. This movie was damn interesting and it romanticized India! I was entertained throughout and eventually bought the movie on DVD for a few more viewings, I'm done with it now as I've virtually memorized it at this point. There were scenes that I found myself literally howling with laughter, for the first few viewings, and now I no longer laugh so I'm clearly done with the movie. However I now seek out Wes Anderson films as they are so different from the usual fare, campy films with legs! I recommend this film to anyone with a heart and a brain! If you lack either give it a skip, you won't get it nor will you enjoy it! By the way Bill Murray has a great cameo! Oh I almost forgot I met Jai Prakash Sharma, the chief priest of the Jain Temple at Ranakpur (Ranakpur is one among the most famous Jain Temples to visit. Ranakpur is easily accessed by road from either Jodhpur or Udaipur), Jai also had a cameo in the movie. Jai was the passenger on the bus after the village funeral who asked Owen Wilson's character the question; "What brings you to this place?"!
