Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2013)

Silver Linings Playbook is the story of Pat Solitano(Bradley Cooper) who struggles with bipolar disorder. After Pat gets picked up from a mental institution by his mother, Dolores(Jacki Weaver) he tries to put his life back on track. The reason he was put into the mental institution was because he almost killed the guy his wife slept with. Pat's dad, Pat Sr.(Robert De Niro) is unsure if Pat is over his manic days. Along the way, Pat meets Tiffany(Jennifer Lawrence), who is a widow. Once they start spending more time with each other, they realize that they have a lot in common.
This is one of the best romantic comedies I've watched recently. Cooper & Lawrence share great chemistry together. A note on the performances. Bradley Cooper is outstanding as Pat. In his first dramatic role, Cooper's acting has improved substantially since The Hangover films & Limitless. Jennifer Lawrence is brilliant in her portrayal of Tiffany. She deserves the Oscar for Best Actress. Robert De Niro & Jacki Weaver are excellent as Pat Sr. & Dolores respectively. Chris Tucker is effective as Danny. Anupam Kher is mind blowing in his small but substantial role of Pat's psychologist Dr.Cliff Patel. All in all, Silver Linings Playbook gives you your money's worth of entertainment.
