Silver Linings Playbook
The easiest way to tell if you're still crazy after being released from a mental hospital is if your imaginary friends throw you a welcome home party.
Luckily, actual people receive the bipolar outpatient in this dramedy.
Discharged after a stint, Pat (Bradley Cooper) arrives home to find his wife has a restraining order against him.
Living with his parents (Jacki Weaver, Robert De Niro), he formulates a plan to win her back.
Helping him in the process is Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a deranged widow who needs a dance partner in trade.
But when a binary bet pairs their recital with the Philadelphia Eagles, Pat's recuperation is threatened.
A charismatic comedy combined with a neurotic love story, Silver Linings Playbook plays host to a horde of hysterical performances and madcap chemistry.
Incidentally, the hardest adjustment to life outside of a mental health facility is administering your own electric shock therapy.
