A Movie Anyone Can Relate Too and Enjoy

Rating: 9/10 (6 October 2016)

In Life We've all had are ups and our downs, been in crazy relationships and had parts of ourselves that nobody else can truly understand and all of this is addressed in David O Russel's, Silver Linings Playbook. This movie perfectly balances Drama and Comedy to create for both a heartbreaking and heartwarming movie that every one can relate too. The performances in this movie are mind blowing with Bradley Cooper really surprising me with his lovable portrayal of a man who struggles with his conditions but you're able to get behind him because Cooper always portrays him as a good person at heart. Jennifer Lawrence one an Oscar for her performance and it's well deserved it showed that a she could to more than be Mystique or Katniss Everdeen she has absolutely Amazing Chemistry with Bradley Cooper and you truly feel their connection together. Robert De Niro does some of his best work here as Coopers father trying desperately to hold his home and family together with De Niro showing Vulnerability and Emotion that we've rarely seen from him. Behind all these great performances is a great director and David O Russel is proving to me more and more that he is one of the best directors working today he doesn't get in the way of these amazing performances he holds back and let's you see them. Every character in this move has something that makes them a human being and relatable making you care more about them towards the film climax. The main plot point of the movie is the romance between Cooper and Lawrence and you care so much about them getting together you just feeling every time they have a scene with just the two of them. I have but one flaw one this movie and it is the sub-plot between Cooper and his ex wife there's never really any scene where you get the chance to see them together as a couple and see what Coopers character is missing so much with her. Overall Silver Linings Playbook was one of the greatest movies of 2012 and is virtually universally Beloved if you want to watch a relatable film about life and relationships then watch this film right now. 94%-A
