1. I love Katniss/Jennifer Lawrence (I will refer to her as Jen). Jen is a wonderful actress and if I encountered her on the street, I would run after her and ask her to be my best friend.
2. I have forever, since the dawn of He's Just Not That Into You, loved the guy from The Hangover/Bradley Cooper (I'll refer to him as Brad). He's also pretty easy on the eyes.
The reason I was so impressed with this movie is because the story was so impressive. If a movie doesn't have a story to tell, it is undeniably going to be boring no matter how hipster it is or how many famous people are in it. Playbook also had impressive character development.
Brief plot summary: Brad, recently released from a mental hospital, is obsessed with winning his wife back. When he meets Jen, he initially denies any attraction but eventually befriends her when she convinces him that she can be helpful in winning his wife back. And after they compete together in a dance competition, everything falls into place.
I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Robert De Niro also stars alongside Jen and Brad. He plays Brad's father who has OCD and is obsessed with the Eagles, gambling away the family's money and becoming increasingly more superstitious as the movie progresses. Both De Niro and Brad's characters are named Pat, and do a lot of yelling.
All in all I would recommend seeing this one whenever possible. It won't disappoint.
