The Words

Movie: The Words

Genre: drama

Synopsis: Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper) achieved world-wide renown as an author when he was only 19.  Ten years later, he is still trying to write a 2^nd book.  He is so desperate that when he finds a manuscript from the 1940’s that had been lost – he publishes it as his own.  Things get dicey when the real author (Jeremy Irons) shows up. 

My two cents: I thought this was a pretty good movie.  It got a little confusing as you have to follow three different timelines.  It was interesting to see Bradley Cooper playing something of a loser.  I also got a kick out of how the story was told from multiple perspectives.  Dennis Quaid also has a great part.
