His main focus is to reconcile with his ex-wife, Nikki ( Brea Bee ). She has moved away and obtained a restraining order against him after Pat had found her in the shower with another man and nearly beat him to death. During his time in the clinic Pat befriends Danny McDaniels ( Chris Tucker ), an easygoing man who is embroiled in a legal dispute with the clinic on whether or not he is eligible to leave. Pat 's therapist, Dr. Patel ( Anupam Kher ), does his best to convince him to keep taking his medication, as a repeat of his violent outbursts might send him back to the clinic. But Pat tells him that he has a new outlook on life : he attempts to see the good, or silver linings, in all that he experiences. At dinner with his friend Ronnie ( John Ortiz ) and his wife Veronica ( Julia Stiles ), Pat meets Veronica 's sister Tiffany Maxwell ( Jennifer Lawrence ), a young widow with depression and relationship problems. Sparks fly between Pat and Tiffany and she tries to connect by offering casual sex, but Pat keeps focusing on getting Nikki back. Tiffany tries to get closer to Pat and even offers to deliver a letter to Nikki -- if, in return, he will practice dancing with her ( which she does as a therapy ) and to partner with her in an upcoming dance competition. He reluctantly agrees and the two begin a rigorous practice regimen over the following weeks. Pat believes the competition will be a good way to show Nikki that he has changed and become a better person. The elder Patrizio hopes to open his own restaurant and has resorted to illegal bookmaking. Having bet virtually all of his money on the outcome of a Philadelphia Eagles game, he asks Pat to attend as a `` good - luck charm ''. Danny is eventually released from the clinic, and teaches Pat and Tiffany some new dance moves for their routine. Pat asks Tiffany for time off from practice to attend the game. She gives him a typed reply from Nikki, in which she cautiously hints there may be a chance for reconciliation between them. Before he gets into the stadium, Pat gets involved in a fight when some racist fans harass the Indian fans there including his therapist Dr. Patel, and is hauled away by the police. The Eagles lose the game and Patrizio is furious. Tiffany shows up at their house and points out that the way she is `` reading the signs, '' Philadelphia teams do better when she and Pat are together. Convinced, Patrizio makes a parlay with his gambling friend : if the Eagles win their next game and Tiffany and Pat score 5 out of 10 in their dance competition, he will win back double the money he lost on the first bet. Pat is reluctant, and Tiffany, Dolores, and Patrizio conspire to persuade Pat to dance in the competition by telling him that Nikki will be there ; it is revealed that his parents have secretly supported Tiffany 's attempts to get along with him. Pat notices that the letter from Nikki also refers to `` reading the signs '' and realizes that Tiffany wrote it. Tiffany, Pat, and their friends and family arrive at the competition on the night of the football game. Tiffany despairs when she finds that Nikki actually is in the audience, invited by Ronnie and Veronica who want Nikki to lift her restraining order on Pat and give Pat the chance to reconcile with her. Tiffany walks to the bar and starts drinking. Pat finds her moments before their dance and drags her onto the dance floor. They begin their routine as the Eagles defeat the Dallas Cowboys. At the conclusion of their set, Tiffany and Pat score exactly 5 points. Amid cheers from friends and family and confused looks from the crowd, Pat approaches Nikki and speaks quietly into her ear. Tiffany sees this and runs off. Pat leaves Nikki behind after a short conversation, and chases Tiffany. He hands her a letter, in which he admits that he knows she forged Nikki 's letter and confesses that he loved her from the moment he met her, though it took him so long to come to terms with it. They share a kiss. Patrizio opens a restaurant with the money he has won, Danny grows even closer to the Solitanos, and Pat and Tiffany begin a relationship, no longer wearing their wedding rings. Cast Bradley Cooper as Patrizio `` Pat '' Solitano, Jr., a former teacher and recent divorcee Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany Maxwell, a young widow Robert De Niro as Patrizio `` Pat '' Solitano, Sr., Pat and Jake 's father Jacki Weaver as Dolores Solitano, Pat and Jake 's mother Anupam Kher as Dr. Cliff Patel, Pat 's doctor and friend Chris Tucker as Danny McDaniels, a good friend of Pat from the psychiatric hospital Julia Stiles as Veronica, Tiffany 's sister Shea Whigham as Jake Solitano, Pat 's brother John Ortiz as Ronnie, Veronica 's husband, Pat 's best friend, and Tiffany 's brother - in - law Brea Bee as Nikki, Pat 's unfaithful ex-wife Cheryl Williams as Tiffany and Veronica 's mom Patrick McDade as Tiffany and Veronica 's dad Dash Mihok as Officer Keogh Matthew Russell as Ricky D'Angelo Paul Herman as Randy Patsy Meck as Nancy : the principal of the school where Pat and Nikki worked Phillip Chorba as Tiffany Maxwell 's ex-boyfriend Jordie Production Development Renee Witt, an executive at The Weinstein Company, convinced Harvey Weinstein to option the book on which the film is based, doing so before it was published. Sydney Pollack then began developing for David O. Russell to direct. Pollack told Russell that the film adaptation would be tricky because of the story 's mixture of troubling emotion, humor, and romance. Russell estimates he rewrote the script twenty times over five years. Russell was drawn to the story because of the family relationships and the connection he felt to his own son, who has bipolar disorder and OCD. The film was shot on a 33 - day schedule. A darker, more extreme version of the dance sequence was filmed and scenes with De Niro 's character were shot in multiple versions, with the character harsher or warmer, as Russell worked with editor Jay Cassidy to set the balance they wanted. The locations are Upper Darby, Ridley Park, and Lansdowne small communities just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although not mentioned by name in the film, Ridley Park is credited at the end, and a police officer can be seen wearing the initials `` RPPD '' on his collar. The film takes place over the second half of the 2008 NFL football season, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game. Several games are mentioned, including the Eagles ' victories over Seattle and San Francisco, their losses to the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants ( which was the game Pat was attending when the fight broke out ), and their victory over Dallas in the season 's final game. Casting Russell initially intended to make the film with Vince Vaughn and Zooey Deschanel, but went on to make The Fighter instead. Mark Wahlberg was set to work with Russell for the fourth time but had to drop out after delays in production created a scheduling conflict. Russell had originally planned to work with Bradley Cooper on an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, having been impressed with Cooper 's performance in Wedding Crashers, citing his `` good bad - guy energy '' and unpredictability as justification for casting. Cooper told Russell `` he had been heavier and angrier and more fearful '' at the time of that performance and had drawn on those feelings for it. Russell was excited that Cooper would bring those qualities to Pat Solitano. Anne Hathaway was cast as Tiffany Maxwell, but due to scheduling conflicts with The Dark Knight Rises and creative differences with Russell, she dropped out. Other actresses who were considered for the part included Elizabeth Banks, Kirsten Dunst, Angelina Jolie, Blake Lively, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, Andrea Riseborough and Olivia Wilde. Initially, Russell did not believe Lawrence 's age was suitable for the role. He thought Lawrence ( 21 at the time of filming ) was too young to play against Cooper ( 38 ), but her audition changed his mind, admitting that the `` expressiveness in her eyes and in her face '' was `` ageless ''. Russell compares Lawrence to the character Tiffany, describing her as confident but one of the least neurotic people he knows, with the confidence and glimpses of vulnerability needed to play Tiffany. Tiffany went through several iterations. She was initially meant to be a goth. Lawrence dyed her hair black and did test shoots in heavy goth makeup, but Weinstein disapproved. The final version of her character remained messed - up yet confident, with small goth touches such as the dark hair and a cross. Specifically for the role, Lawrence was asked by Russell to put on weight and to speak in a lower register. According to Entertainment Weekly, Lawrence said she did n't have a handle on Tiffany at first, which was what excited her about the role. `` She was just a character I one - hundred percent did not understand at all... She 's like, ' I 'm messed up, I 'm not like everybody else, I 've got issues. Take it or leave it because I like myself. ' '' Lawrence and Cooper had no previous dance experience. In less than a month, Mandy Moore, a choreographer for So You Think You Can Dance, taught them the dance sequences. Moore describes Cooper as having `` some real natural dancing ability ''. Lawrence said of the climactic ballroom dance, `` None of that was improvised, absolutely not. I 'm a terrible dancer, so I would never have been able to do any of that. When it finally came together, that scene really was just as fun as it feels. '' Release The film premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2012, where it won the People 's Choice Award. It received a limited release in the United States on November 16, 2012, opening wider later that week. It also opened at the 2012 Mumbai Film Festival on October 18, 2012. The Weinstein Company initially planned an unusually wide release for Silver Linings Playbook, going nationwide on an estimated 2,000 screens. They were encouraged by positive reviews and hoping to capitalize on Thanksgiving to do more business. Instead, they took a more slow - burn approach, opening in fewer theaters, expanding gradually, in a strategy to build up word - of - mouth support. Continuing the slow release the film expanded to 700 theaters on December 25. Reception Critical response Silver Linings Playbook premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival and was critically acclaimed. The film has an approval rating of 92 % on Rotten Tomatoes based on 230 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads, `` Silver Linings Playbook walks a tricky thematic tightrope, but David O. Russell 's sensitive direction and some sharp work from a talented cast gives it true balance. '' On Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 reviews from mainstream critics, the film holds an average score of 81, based on reviews from 45 critics, indicating `` universal acclaim ''. Jennifer Lawrence 's performance earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress Cooper and Lawrence were lauded for their performances. Kevin Jagernauth of The Playlist praised the film as `` an enormously entertaining, crowd - pleasing winner '' and noted that the performances from the two leads were `` carefully developed, and perfectly pitched '', deserving of awards. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said that `` the chemistry between Cooper and Lawrence makes them a delight to watch '' and that their performances anchor the ensemble cast who also give great performances even in small roles. Rooney also complimented the `` invigorating messiness '' and `` nervous energy '' of the choreography. Richard Corliss of Time magazine also applauded the performances of the leads, particularly Lawrence, stating that her performance is `` the reason to stay '' to watch the whole movie, and praising her maturity. Russell 's direction was also widely acclaimed, with Justin Chang of Variety writing : `` Never one to shy away from unlikely sources of comedy, David O. Russell tackles mental illness, marital failure and the curative powers of football with bracingly sharp and satisfying results. '' Eric Kohn of Indiewire gave the film an `` A - '' grade, praising the performances of both Cooper and Lawrence and also Russell 's directing, stating that `` both as solo screenwriter and director, Russell assembles a small, bubbly cast for an unexpectedly charming romcom that frequently dances -- at one point, quite literally -- between cynicism and bittersweetness with largely winning results. '' Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post remarked on Russell 's skill, noting how `` in any other hands, the adaptation of Matthew Quick 's novel would be the stuff of banal rom - com fluff or, perhaps worse, self - consciously quirky indie cliches. '' Bradley Cooper 's performance made him receive his first Academy Award nomination for Best Actor Roger Ebert gave the film three and a half out of four stars, saying that the film was `` so good, it could almost be a terrific old classic '' and described Russell 's screenplay as `` ingenious '' for the way the major concerns of both the father and son pivot on the final bet. Kenneth Turan called the film `` a complete success '' and the actors ' performances `` superb, '' including Chris Tucker in an `` irresistible '' supporting turn. Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the film `` a transcendent endeavor, from its exhilaratingly smart screenplay... to the unexpected and moving turns of its two leads. '' Ricardo Baca of The Denver Post praised how the movie managed to maintain `` the laughs, giddy anxiousness and warm butterflies from the trailer '' for its entire length. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called it `` one of the year 's best movies. It 's crazy good. '' Negative reviews of the film came from The New Yorker, whose critic David Denby called it `` a miscalculation from beginning to end '' and found Cooper 's character `` tiresome '', while Richard Brody found Linings perhaps to `` be the year 's most artificial movie '' and `` the plot (... ) utterly ridiculous. '' In a rare step outside the magazine 's typical practices, Brody revisited the movie and wrote a supplementary review, once again condemning it as having `` no characters but sets of switches, each of which has a binary set of options and all of which have to line up for things to come out right. '' Brody wrote, `` I 'm finding it hard not to make fun of the movie 's highly constructed and narrow - bore array of givens, of plot points and their resolutions. '' Both critics found Lawrence 's Oscar - winning performance `` unconvincing. '' Denby wrote, `` we do n't believe ( Tiffany ) for a second when she says that, in her grief, she `` had sex with everyone in my office. '' Lawrence is tough and proud, and always plays strong, and the remark does n't track with anything we see onscreen. '' Brody finds Lawrence, `` a poised and graceful actress '', who `` has none of the wildness that her character needs -- and that lack of wildness is part of the reason for the movie 's success. '' Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph wrote that there 's a `` tiring fruitlessness to the mayhem '', describing the lead character as a `` rambling headcase '', though noting Lawrence as the film 's `` only silver lining ''. The Globe and Mail 's chief film critic, Liam Lacey, gave three out of four stars, but wrote `` you can easily see Silver Linings Playbook as a better - acted version of any number of Sundance - style films about quirky outsiders who find a common bond. '' The NFL was critical of the gambling in the film and declined to broadcast an interview with Bradley Cooper and Chris Tucker during Thanksgiving. Box Office The film earned $443,003 in its opening weekend from 16 locations, facing strong competition from films including Skyfall and Lincoln. Expanding to 367 locations in its second week, the film moved to ninth place with $4.4 million. By December 30, it was showing at 745 theaters and had earned $27.3 million. On January 18, 2013, it earned $12.7 million when it expanded to 2,523 theaters, which boosted its total to $56.7 million. In its second weekend of playing in over 2500 theaters, its sales only declined by 12.2 %. Gitesh Pandya stated it was well on its way to reaching the $100 million mark and could go much higher if it remained durable over the weeks. Ray Subers forecast the film would earn $100 million, predicting that the film would start slow but keep going through December and gain a wide audience, bringing in fans of Lawrence and Cooper from their work on big franchise films, The Hunger Games and The Hangover, respectively. The film surpassed the $100 million mark in North America on February 19, 2013. As of May 11, 2013, the movie has become a sleeper box office hit, making over eleven times its budget.
