I could never get this title into my head.  Then I saw the DVD and it made sense.  This is a quirky movie and everyone in it has quirks.  The acting is the best I’ve seen for ages.  Basically, Pat (Bradley Cooper) is taken home from a psychiatric stay where he has been for 8 months.  Something pretty nasty put him there but we don’t know exactly what it was (his wife has a restraining order).  The family he comes home to is rooting for him all the way, but they have some issues as well.

He meets a young widow who will pass a message to his ex. if he will partner her in a dance contest.  His dad needs him for his Eagles football mojo on the same date.  A bet on the score they have to make at the contest gets tied up with a bet on the football game.  This is a funny, happy, sad, crazy movie.  Again, the acting was really extraordinary.
