Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper reteam for the Depression era romance, Serena.
But that may be the film’s only silver lining…
Audiences love seeing familiar faces together, provided they belong to stars burning with noticeable heat.
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence might become one of those legendary (onscreen) pairings eventually.
But if thats the case, its not discernable in their latest picture together,Serena.
Then again, they didnt have much hope of shining in this dismal, soapy black hole.
As their sole heir, she is rich, troubled, and perfect for a whirlwind romance.
Well, presumably it was whirlwind since it all occurs via montage.
Serenahas been a longtime forthcoming.
Yet, the end result is as barren as the deforested land at the heart ofSerenasstory.
Cooper fares better as the silverspooned carpetbagger cliche with a confident smile.
