This movie really has me on the fence. Yes, it does do something rarely seen in mainstream movies, which is take characters that are heavily flawed and work with them through their demons, through their crazy times, and through some of their coping mechanisms and struggles. IT's also honest in its portrayal of how other's fear them. But, it was also really cheesy. Like this whole danse competition premise, how they are rank amateurs yet score well enough to meet the terms of the bet, and how after obsessing after his wife for years, he falls for his disfunctional partner. That felt like an entire copout that is endemic in Hollywood, to choose love and the happy ending, instead of the honest, unresolved place where they would be in real life.
