Summary
Add a SummaryRory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) is a struggling writer. He gets married to Dorah (Zoe Saldana) on their trip to Paris. Dorah buys him this nice leather bag. Later on Rory finds a manuscript. He re-writes the entire story. Then he is given the chance to Publish it. But in the time of the success Rory is soon met by a old man who tells him that it's his story. That it was his fall in love, loss, and ended up alone. Then the story jumps to a book reading by Clay (Dennis Quaid) who is reading his new book 'The Words'. He meets Daniella (Olivia Wilde) who goes to his apartment. They talk about the ending. Rory goes to see The Old man and after a fight the Old man tells him that he has to live with his choices and that he didn't want a pay out or anything. (it is mentioned that the old man dies a few weeks later). Rory never owns up to his lies. Daniella is asks about the ending believing that it is not truly the end. Clay tells her to tell him how it should end. She says that Rory and Dorah's marriage falls apart and Clay is left alone in his success. In the end they hint that Clay is Rory.

Add a CommentI was excited to see this because of Bradley Cooper. I like his work, but this film is terrible. No plot, No character development, and extremely slow. The ending was a mystery as well. It is too bad because the idea of this film is excellent and it could have been much more interesting. Too Bad. Don't waste you hour and a half.
On the surface, this is a story about an author who wrote a story about an author who stole/copied a story written by another author. The loop within a loop interplay in the story is cute but did not really add to the substance of the movie, which (I think) is about the impact of choices you make in life. But then the movie doesn't really explore that, and just end up trying to be cute with the story within the story within the story layers. Entertaining, but not memorable.
This is a unbelievable film. The story is just beautiful! I loved this film! Very HIGHLY recommend!
very good acting and intriguing story line.
The average person may find this movie slow and boring (my DH stopped watching halfway through), but I think fiction writers and novel-lovers would enjoy it.
Good potential, but overall slow and boring. Was hoping for more.
What a great movie, a story within a story. It was a very interesting movie.
Confusing, and boring.
