2.5 stars (out of 4)

Released 2012

This is a generally competent romantic comedy/drama but lack of chemistry between the leads and a somewhat random ballroom dance subplot prevented the film from being great.

I say random, because I couldn’t see why Jennifer Lawrence’s acid-tongued character would also be obsessed with amateur ballroom dancing, other than the fact that it gave the main characters a reason to keep meeting for practice.

There were some funny moments involving Robert DeNiro as the superstitious football-fan dad, but in general I think this film is highly over-rated.
