I was really excited to watch this film. Why? - The last film I had seen by David O. Russell, The Fighter, was simply amazing, - Bradley en Jennifer are good actors (although I don't adore them like a lot of people do these days), and Lawrence got an Oscar for this - The big amount of awards this film received. - The trailer looked appealing - A lot of friends recommended this film.

But for some reason SLP just didn't really work out for me. The main reasons: I thought it would be more funny and I never really grew to like the main characters. It has absolutely nothing to do with the acting, but I often found myself annoyed by them. I really tried to like it, and kept on thinking that the best part still had to come, but by the end of the film I felt like I had missed something. This is an okay film, but I personally don't understand why this was considered one of the best films of 2012.
