A little hard to see Bradley Cooper as a young writer because of his obvious maturity, but once that complaint was voiced I was able to lose myself to the story.

Thought it had a good plot, but wished it was a longer so it could go into more detail on each of the stories. And the Dennis and Olivia story does have a meaning to it. Also has a good life lesson of integrity.
