Another Golden Globe winner, with again the great Jennifer Lawrence. Although I really believe the magic of this movie is because of the chemistry, strange one, between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. And perhaps throughout the cast. The movie is so much about family, friends, the small community, and everyone is part of it in a beautiful way, very human (In a way similar to his previous film The Fighter). The movie besides is an absolute pleasure to watch because it is funny, to the edge of course, and unpredictable, because most of the characters of the movie are unpredictable. Perhaps too loud at times, this movie is a mess of emotion and humanity. Now I want to watch it all over again...

Very nice movie, it is no wonder that he has been nominated for Academy Awards. I keep my fingers crossed for a win Bradley Cooper even made bets on some of the nominees. Bookmakers have set the odds for Oscars.
