Disorderly

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2013)

Silver Linings Playbook is an interesting tale of two people suffering from mental illness. While it could have become into a modern version of a Forest Gump type of film, it tends to revert to a very foul mouthed nasty movie. The script did not need to fill in the blanks with the f-bomb almost every other sentence. The nastiness could have been tuned down to make the characters more human and decent--not all bipolar sufferers are nasty and foul mouthed. Robert Deniro was his usual f-bomb after f-bomb character that he plays in every single movie that he has ever done in his career. The acting was decent, but it was not even close to Oscar quality. Cooper was pretty good and maybe this will springboard him to becoming a real actor rather than a dumb comedy f-bomb delivery boy. Overall it is a decent movie, it would have had no Oscar consideration if it had not introduced mental health into the story. Average all the way.
