Good movie to watch !

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2012)

The group of actors chosen for this film all complement each other so well it's as if they've know each other their whole lives.
Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver are noteworthy as Pat's parents, especially De Niro who gives a rare performance requiring emotional depth and comedic flair.
As far as comedic entertainment value goes, "Silver Linings Playbook" isn't always laugh out loud funny, but makes up for it by having an extremely well crafted storyline, with its entertainment roots strongly grounded (for the most part) in reality.
The story is so much more than meets the eye too. Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver play Cooper's mom and dad, and in a few scenes, Russell is able to brilliantly convey the family dynamic that led to Cooper's issues in the first place.
