It was hard to follow but it had somethign for the pretentious intellectual, the David Mammet Dialogue lover and the sight gag appreciator. All the characters did a fantasitc job all were well rounded and you cared about all of them. It's a hard thing as a director to have an audience caring about 6 or so characters in the span of 2 hours. The filming was great with lots of colour and beautiful shots. I didn't love this movie beacause to be honost a lot of it was over my head but I could definalty learn to love after more undertanding through several viewings.

I really liked the movie. Tommy, Albert, Brad and Dawn are all developed enough for you to understand their plights. I don't really think the "philosophy" in the movie was very deep or meant to be analyzed. This wasn't a Waking Life type movie in terms of deep and meaningful dialogue.It was light, and funny and quirky.

I think its just a vehicle, something different, and its successful... I hadn't seen ANY of David O' Russels movies until this year, and now that I have, I'm a big fan of this man.... Don't search for answers. Just sit back and laugh. Marky Mark is hilarious, Jude Law is a lovable dick, the guy who plays Nate Fisher on Six Feet Under is a born again SUV driving Christian. Enjoy it. 4/4 stars from me. Sean, I think you had the point… but then missed it…
