If you loved Silver Linings Playbook- This is a 10

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2014)

Okay, so it was interesting to see the split between these comments- saying either fantastic or surprisingly boring. There was such a division that I almost didn't go see it, and then finally decided to go tonight just in honor of Silver Linings Playbook.
I can tell you now that this is a perfect 10 and then some. It is a writing / acting mosaic. It is Silver Linings Playbook plus Goodfellas. If you don't understand how people work on the inside, and what drives people to do irrational things, then I can understand how you didn't see the mosaic, you only saw a rug. That explains the drastic split in comments.
My only spoiler is this... You only think you know all the stars in this film, and the extent to which they can perform.
This was my favorite movie in years.
If anything I said up there makes sense to you... go see it. If not, sorry about the rug thing. It's me, not you.
