The Silver Linings Playbook review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/15/13
"Life is hard enough...Couples fight its normal...True love is about letting her go and seeing if she returns...Humanity is just nasty...Try to stay positive. He cannot be a quitter." Quotable lines are endless, which is more than enough reason to enjoy the funny and moving film. Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) who has a condition moves to his parents while his dad Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro) tries to reconnect with him. Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence) befriends Pat and spend time together.
Earnest performances from Robert De Niro, who finally gets back to finally being in a very good movie and showing his range. Cooper was solid but Lawrence just spellbinding. Jennifer Lawrence is have a nice acting career after this gets its proper rewards (or lets say awards). Nice insertion of Singing in the Rain and Danny (Chris Tucker) giving some dancing tips. Soundtrack was well picked and direction good. Only minor observations this critic has were certain scenes that prolonged the picture and some music video like sequences. The Silver Linings Playbook is a rare feel good movie about family, friendship, positivity and love.
