The story at the core of this film was entertaining and all of the actors in the film were good (with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence both reprising their roles of "Bradley Cooper" and "Jennifer Lawrence", respectively). The tone felt off to me. Some scenes (like the mob meeting) felt like they were actually playing it fairly straight, but then, you've got J-Law and Amy Adams in the bathroom, which struck me as played for shock/laughs/confusion. It's like O'Russell wanted to make Burn After Reading and decided to splash a bit of No Country for Old Men in there to spice things up. It makes things interesting, just like when my neighbor brought around rice pudding made with her extra breastmilk: tastes OK, but something's a bit off and after you've learned the details, you're kind of grossed out.
