"They kicked me out of Harvard because the next semester they knew I was delusional because I registered for 75 courses."
Review:
Infinitely Polar Bear was surprisingly good. What was an impulse watch, actually turned into an entertaining 88 minutes, and really, wish for more. After all, besides 13 Going on 30, isn't Mark Ruffalo usually pretty good in everything?
And thus he was in this film as well playing the manic depressive Cam Stuart in a role that sheds some humor on the issue, all while letting you into the lives of those who deal with loved ones who suffer from the disease. Ruffalo was fantastic and is very much worth the watch because of his role. Also, so are the kids who were surprising as well.
Another positive are the subtle
All in all, this film was enjoyable, and very much worth the short run time.
Grade: 4/5
