Silver linings is "GOLDEN"

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2013)

This movie is getting a whole lot of buzz with nominations from both the Golden Globe and the Oscars. With that powerhouse backing most movie goers will trust that this is indeed a decent movie, and they would be right, except it is more than just decent. Look, I'm not much of a romantic comedy guy, Jennifer Aniston and and Kate Hudson have pretty much ruined that genre for years to come, but then comes along this masterful tidbit. This movie has all the right ingredients to bring romantic comedies back from the dead. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are truly exceptional in their respective roles as is Robert De Niro and for that matter the entire cast. Also the storyline is original and at the same time intriguing, a rare combination in 99% of all romantic comedies. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and think it may be one of the best in this genre in the past several years. If you watch movies strictly for the entertainment value, this one will deliver, if you watch for great acting portrayals this one will deliver. Do yourself a favor and see what all the buzz is about.
