"You know, I used to think that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but now I think that you might maybe be the worst thing. And I'm sorry that I ever met you." - Tiffany

Why watch this? I love it when two screwed-up people find a little happiness together.

Plot Summary: Following a stay in a mental institution, Pat Solitano Jr. moves back in with his parents and is determined to win back his estranged wife. He meets Tiffany, a mysterious young widow with problems of her own, and they embark on a journey that will challenge their perspectives and reshape their lives.

Dad's Preview: Every film with Cooper and Lawrence together convinces me how damn good these young actors are. This superb anti-rom-com is disturbing, warm, funny and eventually triumphant. De Niro also nails his part as the obsessive-compulsive Eagles fan whose illogical superstitions rule his household. For everyone whose family is not picture perfect, like mine, you will love this often hilarious trip down Dysfunction Lane.
