that you were the best thing that ever happened to me, but now I
think that you

Tiffany
Why watch this?
I love it when two screwed-up people find a little happiness
together.
Plot Summary:
Following a stay in a mental institution, Pat Solitano Jr. moves
back in with his parents and is determined to win back his
estranged wife. He meets Tiffany, a mysterious young widow with
problems of her own, and they embark on a journey that will
challenge their perspectives and reshape their lives.

Dad's Preview:
Every film with Cooper and Lawrence together convinces me that
they are certainly future mega stars. This superb anti-rom-com
is disturbing, warm, funny and eventually triumphant. Dependable
Robert De Niro also nails his part as the obsessive-compulsive
Eagles fan whose illogical superstitions rule his household. For
everyone whose family is not picture perfect, like mine, you
will love this often hilarious trip down Dysfunction Lane.
