She hated it, said it was very cliched with a rubbish ending. Danny was the one that liked it.

Am I getting mixed up? Oh was it the Silver Linings Playbook she adored?

I saw this one twice, a couple months apart. I enjoyed it a bit more a second time, but it's not a top level film that some critics are making it out to be. It's fun, despite the infuriating camera-work, but it's nothing with the Gyllenhaal-Pena show.

How did they justify the found footage/shaky cam again? Oh yes, "this is for a project!"
Seriously? Half of the film suffer (well, at least, I suffered) from handheld bore and they don't even bother reading more than 2 lines about it?
For me this pretty much summarise the film, a very poorly exploited plot and supporting characters, served with a pretty horrendous camera work. I did not like it!
