Some captivating historical elements keep the plot taut in this drama about a Native-American woman who, led by strange visions, pursues the location of a residential school that purportedly holds dark secrets in need of resolution.
The story includes a catholic priest's ill-gotten agenda to silence the mother, especially since she discovers proof of the atrocities committed in such boarding schools that were built exclusively to convert Native Americans and bring them into the fold of catholicism, by force if necessary.
Bradley Cooper plays Luke Patterson in this production. Adam Beach, Wes Studi, Chris Mulkey, Georgina Lightning, and Tantoo Cardinal fulfill important roles. Identity loss and cultural genocide are powerful themes in this movie.

This sports comedy should, to all intents and purposes, have been successful. Sadly, the project is one of Bradley Cooper's less-liked ones. He plays a bit part in this script as a cowboy.
Other noteworthy artists include Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, and Matthew Lawrence, Brooke Nevin, Carl Weathers, Melora Hardin, Robert Ri'chard, and David Koechner. The entire movie is a collection of spoofs based on established sports movies.
The story features a washed-up coach who brings together a squad of hopeless college misfits to play and win a major football championship.

Despite checking all the right boxes in the rom-com genre, this movie did not become one of Bradley Cooper's most appreciated projects. Looking past the clichés, the story features a weird crossword puzzle enthusiast Mary Horowitz (played by Sandra Bullock) who pursues a CCN cameraman across the USA because her state of mind makes her believe that the man is meant for her.
Bradley Cooper is the cameraman named Steve. Other memorable artists in this production are Keith David, DJ Qualls, M. C. Gainey, Thomas Haden Church, Howard Hesseman, and Ken Jeong. The story is heavily stereotyped bordering on offensive (to women).

This is one of Bradley Cooper's worst movies to date. It relies heavily on the cliché of an ambitious woman named Kenna with a not-so-great upbringing trying to shuffle two guys whom she's dating in parallel.
She likes them both but doesn't quite know which one is right for her. Adding to the craziness is that both men are the total opposite of each other in personality.
Oddly enough, they are both aware of Kenna's confusion, so jealousy gradually grows between the men and threatens to explode. Bradley Cooper plays one of the love interests, namely Jeff. Colleen Porch, David Gail, Kurt McKinney, and James Martin Kelly play key roles in the script.
