Great cast. I think it is very difficult to play characters who are suffering from some mental condition. Robert De Niro and the two principles pulled it off beautifully. I was pulled along in this story by the quality of the acting. I tried not to think about the story at all.
I also tried not to blink when a huge mistakes were made in the world of "Restraining Orders." I tried not to blink. But, I blinked twice. Once when the cop showed up and gave a warning about not violating the restraining order again. Doesn't happen that way. A judge would find the cop in contempt of court if he didn't arrest someone for violating the restraining order. Judges don't like having their rulings ignored. The other time was near the end when Nikki shows up at the dance competition. I'll give the idea that Nikki is too stupid to realize that she is putting our hero in a serious situation. And I suppose I'll give the idea that our hero is too stupid to realize what it means if she is there -- and that he knew she would be there. But as soon as she showed up, he was required to leave.
This kind of thing drives me around the bend. Most Americans believe the shit they see in the movies about the law. And most movies are terribly WRONG about it all.
In the end, this movie is just another Love Conquerors All movie. The two principles have some serious issues. Neither deals with them well (not uncommon for the mentally disturbed). But I got the feeling "I Love You" was suppose to leave us with the impression that Everything Will Be Okay Now.
Great acting. Story that got more and more predictable as the clock ticked until I could have told you the step by step issues of the last 20 minutes.
Still, the acting elevates it from a two out of five to a three.
Stacey pointed out that Jennifer Lawrence was the lead in Hunger Games. That young lady has some serious acting range! I haven't seen Bradley Cooper before, so I don't what else he can do. He was very credible as a bi-polar. Jacki Weaver as his mother was great. Dealing with two dysfunctional children and a OCD husband without over playing the character takes skill
The screen play was boring and predicable. Our hero is unreasonably stupid about life in general. It is only saved by the cast.
