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.
