I know this isn't the popular opinion but I can't remember the last time I wanted to leave a film after the first 45 minutes. This was a painfully dull and cliched film and I DID go into it with that expectation. How many times can you tell thos dumb story?Between Cooper and Elliott's mumbling, the derivative "alcoholic drugged out rock star" one-dimensional character and the improbable "sudden rise to stardom " of Gaga ALL presented at a SNAIL'S pace I could barely stay in the theater. I give it too stars because I am a Gaga fan and liked the soundtrack but this film was horrible.
