Silver Linings Playbook

A powerful movie with oscar worthy performances by Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Jennifer Lawrence. The story involves a brutally honest, raw & fascinating look through the eyes of an adult husband dealing with a personality disorder, marriage and work life that have failed. The beauty of the film and screenplay is that you find yourself always rooting for this character, straining to support him and love him, urging him to make intelligent choices. Everyone in his small Philadelphia middle class family loves him - most especially his Mother & Father. Without this love and support, there would be no Silver Lining. The movie is a powerful showcase for the strength of family and unconditional love, although father De Niro does offer a few conditions of his own at times. But his love for his son is by far the most beautiful aspect of the film. Silver Linings Playbook taps into both the vulnerability and strength of the human heart and the power of unconditional love.
