Great disappointment. Not at all like the book.

Rating: 1/10 (28 March 2013)

It is unfair towards the book, Silver Linings Playbook, to call this movie by the same name. It is not at all the alike and every single character's personality is completely different from the original text. The story had been edited to suit the needs of the mainstream, superficial movie goer.
The movie is predictable whereas the book isn't at all. The movie is devoid of any deep, real feelings, whereas the book is filled with it. The movie is more suitable for extroverts and the book more suitable for introverts. The book would help you to get to know the main character much better.
Do yourself a favour: switch the screen off and go read the book. It is brilliant...unlike the movie.
