This movie starts off like a rocket launched into space. Unfortenately, about fourty-five minutes in the movie, it slows down to almost a stand still. The down side is that you still have almost an hour and a half to go.The story still has a couple of things to say, but not enough to fill the void. I was really surprised though by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, who played both really well. For both, the first time really, that I saw them in a movie. There is a lot of swearing going on, so think twice about bringing young children!
