Critics everywhere agree: American Sniper is a movie with a fake, plastic baby. The doll who plays Bradley Cooper's child is so transparently not alive that it's hard to believe it appears in an Oscar contender with a $60 million budget. What was Clint Eastwood thinking here?

Bradley Cooper—poor, sweet, onetime Sexiest Man Alive Bradley Cooper—apparently does not think himself that handsome.

American Sniper, Clint Eastwood's latest jingoistic drama, stars (a plump!) Bradley Copper as Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, the U.S. military's deadliest sniper ever. Looks tense. This Oscar-bait (so says Vulture) might be just the kind of moral bludgeoning you need when it comes out this Christmas: The trailer interpolates images of Cooper holding and crying with his baby and Sienna Miller as he trains his crosshairs on a woman and a child with a bomb. Fun fact: Steven Spielberg was originally set up to direct this movie, but then he changed his mind.
