David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook stars Bradley Cooper as Pat, a bipolar man from Philadelphia who has spent the last eight months in a mental hospital. He was ordered there after a violent incident involving his wife and another man. Pat moves in with his father (Robert De Niro), a lifelong Eagles fans who has low-level OCD issues. Pat wants to get back together with his wife, even though there is a restraining order keeping him from contacting her. He soon befriends Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a depressed young woman who's mourning the death of her husband by engaging in compulsive sex with almost everyone she meets; she also knows his wife and offers to deliver a letter of his to her if he acts as her partner in a local dance competition. Silver Linings Playbook screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

After he catches her in the act of cheating is institutionalized for losing it and almost beating a man to death. and his new Friend/Girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games) played Tiffany who is grieving the death of her husband by preoccupation her mourning in engaging everyone at her Job. Robert DeNiro plays the Superstitious Eagles Fan Dad whose OCD Rituals also suffers the commonly share personality traits such as high attention to detail ,Aligning multiple TV remotes to avoid risk of losing a games, carefully planning bets as a Bookie to open up a Restaurant. Despite all their irrational behavior, they mutually agree to use one another for their selfish goals.

I wish I had written the brilliant screenplay for this film, which had incredible acting and fabulous directing and would, if audiences and the film industry valued wit and transformation, clean up at the oscars. The absolutely best thing about this film is that it's like a hall of mirrors: the unexpected or apparently unfortunate or unwanted events all turn out for the best. It's like Serendipity with a less saccharine flavor. Nobody gets what they want--thank goodness; there is a conspiracy--one of love and redemption; against all odds and reason, the family members love each other and stick together; and, not unusually, the people who are crazy are the ones who are walking free. Having married into a working class family from PA, I can attest to the authenticity of the characters and situations and performances. Favorite moments: literary analyses of Hemingway and Golding (what is it with the modern era and suicidal or deeply traumatized writers sharing their misery???). A must see.

Personally, I really like Silver Linings Playbook even though it is not one of my favorite movies. What I thought was very good about this particular movie is the screenplay, the acting performances delivered by Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Chris Tucker, etc., and the overall presentation of it. The plot and development of this movie is very personal, interrelated, realistic, and very common to people's everyday lives believe it or not. What was a downside to this movie personally to me is that the whole screenplay and adaptation of it is very ordinary and common to our everyday lives, which did not really impress me or leave me with an overwhelming feeling at the conclusion of the movie like my favorite movies do. However, Silver Linings Playbook is a good movie overall and would recommend it to other viewers of an age-appropriate audience.

Excellent film about how people afflicted with various types of mental illness can manage to overcome their difficulties and become functioning and contributing members to the community and society. Superb performances by the entire cast and an entertaining screenplay with spot-on direction. Both funny, thought-provoking and emotional, all at the same time. I highly recommend this one.
