I watched this film at its premiere at Beverly Hills at the film festival,this film was awarded as the best feature film at the closing ceremony night. I'm not one for movies about money and mafias and cons and all that, but aside from that, it's just as much a tale about relationships and what people are really like. This film really benefited from the actors improvising, as it lead to some very funny moments.My only criticism is that it felt it lacked a little something with story. The actors improvise on their greyish characters and provide more entertainment than the script possibly could. That certainly isn't the film-maker's achievement but he did choose the right cast that could pull that con off on the audience. I can say that I was not disappointed and absolutely loved the film. People take different experiences and sensibilities with them when they see movies, and mine led me to be engaged and empathetic towards the characters. Their story interested me and I came out of the cinema thoroughly enjoying myself.

For me, J Law's acting talent stole the show. I saw her in 'Silver Linings' and the first 'Hunger Games' a while back, so again I didn't have any real preconception of what she would be like. But in this movie, her acting was just on another level. Every scene she was in carried so many emotions, and you'd couldn't tell if she was going to explode at any point (a'la the bathroom scene with Sydney). The things her character gets herself into in this film, even while she's still at home, are just out right slap your knee hilarious, especially the argument scenes.

Direction was a large positive for this. The way the camera moves is so subtle yet so effective. There are a lot of clichés that it could have fallen into, but O' Russell was very clever, and everything about the way he directed it was planned out perfectly. The camera seems to interact with the characters emotions, so you're really seeing this on more than one level.

As i read other reviews i thought to add my views about this film.It was kind of film which make me laugh the way comedy is presented.Cinematography was very interesting specially in the church scene and the music video.I enjoyed the rap song in the film.It looks an experimental film with a new approach and was kind of a very good film to hold interest of audience.Actors were good in their part.Other thing which looks impressive was locations used in the film.Dialogues could have been written better and actress could be better but i believe it was choice of casting team.Overall I would like to give a rating of 9 to this film.
