As Good as it Gets!!!

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2013)

SL Playbook is a beautiful film. The special effects are the script, the acting, the directing and editing and the soundtrack.It's just a great blend of cast, script and director. The stories of Pat and Jennifer's recent challenges unfolds in a poignantly gripping delivery. In 122 minutes, there are no false notes, just a brilliantly built crescendo of their struggles with life's challenges. There's everything we experience in our daily lives, tragedy, heartache, joy,struggles and growth. I see few films that reach inside and touch my emotions in a deeply visceral way...SLP did, and continues to. It reminds me that whatever challenges I face, there are others with like or greater challenges, and that I am not alone in my feelings and struggles.
The Academy Awards nominations offer the ability to shine a bright light on film that otherwise might be lost to flashier offerings. SLP's nominations highlight the many exceptional efforts in this film.
Anyone with a heart and soul for their fellow man and woman should see this film, on the big screen where possible. You could spend a lot of time looking for better ways to invest 122 minutes of your life, and do as well.
