Did the same thing last night . Overall it was an okay not great film in my book. The writing was solid, they had plenty of top notch actors, but everything else was just okay. The sets were kind of bland, the characters were hit and miss for me(some were great some were to annoying ), the sets didn't really blow me away, and the pacing was very slow at times.
Two main things that kind of burned me out when the film started were Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams.
Bradley Coopers character was horrible they wanted a kind of jittery over eager cop character, and they focused on those aspects way to much. He didn't really have a back story or anything going on outside of the job aside from one really short home scene.His character just didn't really have anything likable about him and ended up feeling like a idiot sidekick for the majority of the movie.
Amy Adams on the other hand had a good character. However she quickly became a pair of tits with a fake British accent thanks to the wardrobe selection. Around 90% of the outfits in the movie have her boobs falling out of them which really didn't seem necessary.
Agreed. I understand that the clothing style of the period was more revealing, but every single outfit she wore had no bra. I think the most conservative thing she wore was her bathing suit
Amy Adams bears a striking resemblence to my wife - slim, wavy reddish-brown hair, blue eyes, smile wrinkles, fair skin, Irish features, etc. - but my wife dresses much, much more conservatively. (She is more of a jeans and t-shirts sort of girl.) I thought Amy Adams outfits in the movie were awesome, and watching American Hustle was like seeing my wife in some of her best outfits (i.e., I enjoyed it immensely).
