I found that my bipolar had little to do with what was portrayed in the movie, like AnnieLovesBacon. But i get discrete episodes of high and low mood and their's seem more mixed. Also the lack of 'filter' they both had, saying whatever came into their heads, was not a feature i have ever found in myself or any other bipolar.

I think any portrayal of bipolar that is not negative is welcome tho. And it opened up the public dialogue about bipolar as well. So while i thought it was silly at least it promoted awareness in a fairly positive light.
