When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This movie isn't about second chances, It's about following a dream that you want, It's about catch the right moment of the life. Maybe you don't know what do you want at first, but when you realize, you must do everything for it. This movie changed me a little bit, gave me motivation to moving forward to the better me. I believe in EXCELSIOR, I believe in happy endings and I believe in Silver Linings.

Silver Lining Playbook is a romantic comedy directed by David O. Russell, starring Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert DeNiro. Cooper plays Pat Solantano, who was recently released from a mental facility. Where he was hospitalized after having a breakdown and losing his wife to an affair and then losing his job. The movie follows his story in re-claiming his life and finding his own kind of happiness. Along his journey he crosses paths with Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence who offers to help him with his estranged wife if he does something for her. The complexity of human relationships is played out very well throughout this film. The father/son relationship Pat has with his father who is played by Robert DeNiro, with both of them trying to figure out how to handle their complicated relationship after Pat's breakdown and hospitalization. Tiffany and Pat's relationship is also a very interesting one. They are both dealing with a lot of loss and coming to grips with their own insecurities. Camera angles were key in this film. The way it was shot really brought the viewer into these characters lives almost in the first person point of view. It seems the camera is going a long for the ride as another character within the film. Silver Lining Playbook is an excellent film focusing on the relationships of the common man and something everyone can relate too.

Film Review: "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012)In a young actress life, when Jennifer Lawrence encountered Director David O. Russell in Summer 2011 to be cast for the character of Tiffany, little did they know that their collaboration are about to change time for every one involved on the production of "Silver Linings Playbook", which limbs into neo-realism with characters in the middle of life to identify with.This picture shares an honest look-inside into a life under constant struggle to achieve, to create, to push out of the ordinary. Actor Bradley Cooper, with his tragic-comedic talent, clicks right on with the character of Pat, who went through mental treatment after beating the lover of his ex-wife toward death. Under the direction of David O. Russell becomes this dark fundament of an unless sad story; the bitter-sweet ingredients to follow life through against all odds to encounter, to open up to the new, which gets impersonated by Jennifer Lawrence's character, who as the just-cause encounter brings a perspective for an otherwise forfeit life of ex-teacher Pat.The conflicts between the characters, especially between the son and his father, portrayed by up to his most realism indulging character in years actor Robert De Niro, follow a documentary-like capturing by cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi of recreating a man's life with opportunities every step of his pathway, out of his parents' home over dinner at his friend's house to the city hall of a professional dancing competition to be the motivating picture for every one, who encounters it.The pace of "Silver Linings Playbook" could not be better. All cast members fulfill a deep sympathy and understanding for the screen story also written by Dovid O. Russell, which shows through interconnected scenes that the leading characters, played by Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper, build a chemistry out of charm, wits, drama and comedic elements as life itself to die for.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
