    A Fun, Must See Movie

    by nativetexson

    Good story. Good acting. Laughs. Tears. All about dealing with what life throws at you and how something remarkable sneaks up on you unexpectedly. I'd see it again.

    It was excellent!

    by newlife2001

    At the beginning of the movie I thought I wouldn't like it. I thought "This is some other variant of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' he just got out." But I was pleasantly surprised. Robert De Niro was especially amazing, IMO. There was an aspect of it that made it seem unrealistic. I don't want to give any of the plot away but I do recommend you see it. If you've already seen Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, and Les Mis then definitely go see it.

    Definitely a Silver Lining

    by joei47

    Loved this movie and, boy, did they nail the Eagles fans (as one who should know). The story line was really great and the acting was top notch. You really have to see this one.

    Silver Linings Playbook - real people, problems and success

    by woodsmurphy

    I was just so happy to see real people working out painful life situations in Silver Linings Playbook and coming through them in their own way. The houses they live in, the problems they face and the oddities of their lives rang true in a way that most films don't. In their imperfections, these characters won my heart and I recognized the hint of insanity in all of us as I watched them explode on the scene in a poignant, sometimes frightening display of deep emotions, mood swings, desire, dashed dreams and rebuilt lives. I was excited about the way this family was whole and beautiful in the middle of their crisis, the joy they took in a crab snack, football, a Sunday dinner with Mom's bracciole and Dad's lucky handkerchief. Yes, it's all looney, but I am sick to death of seeing homes where only the 1% live, places working class people may visit, but never own. Silver Linings Playbook invites you into the living room where broken people face themselves and find strength in each other.

    MUST See Movie !

    by redrdr26

    I went into this movie with no expectations but was very pleased with it. This movie was very well done and relatable. I found the true nature of mental health concerns accurate & informative. A more serious role for Bradley Cooper & Jennifer Lawrence alike. Well done ! I would see it again ! Go see this movie as it has been nominated for a few awards !

    Silver Linings Playbook

    by tonimol

    My husband and I enjoyed the movie. We went out of curiosity because it was filmed in our area and we wanted to see how it looked on the big screen. We were pleasantly surprised to find the movie was entertaining and had a lot of heart in it. It had a happy ending, which we like. We would recommend it.

    Stellar performances

    by Va_Beach_Movie_Buff

    The buzz about this movie is spot-on! Fantastic performances by Deniro, Cooper, and the luminous Jennifer Lawrence - who evokes memories of Audrey Hepburn. The entire cast manages to treat the subject of mental illness with sensitivity, and shows us the highs and lows of the road to recovery. See it!

    silver lnnings playbook

    by movielovinggranny

    Terrific film!! It's refreshing to see Hollywood depicting that you don't have to be perfect to enjoy the benefits of a conventional life. Mental Illness is not something to fear, and it doesn't change the basic desires that each of us has for association and love.

    Silver Linings Playbook

    by dlpesq

    A number of ocscar worthy performances, intelligent plot and dialogue, a little trite in the ending, but the power of the opening 40 minutes makes it completely worthwhile.

    Silver Lining Playbook - EXCELSIOR

    by seakayii

    This is a great movie for Philadelphia Eagles fans; it is not about brotherly love, however. I think it would be hard for someone who did not understand the passion of Philadelphia football fans to enjoy this movie with the same intensity that those of us from Philadelphia would appreciate.

    A good movie comes along

    by love2u

    Thought this movie was very good...Brad Cooper did a great job playing more of a serious role than just "easy on the eyes"! romantic comedy- but it was Jennifer Lawrence who stole the show. She is adorable and was fabulous in this movie! Hope she does more quality films like this one. She is definitely oscar worthy. Great supporting cast as well.

    by jenjovanov

    Excellent movie. Well acted and wonderful story line. Makes you thing about life and how being perfect is not reality and that sometimes you need to find your own happiness even if its not what you originally planned.

    I want to see it AGAIN!

    by ginnylasco

    This is the best movie I've seen in YEARS. I enjoyed every single second of it from beginning to end. I turned to my friend every 20 minutes or so to say "I love this movie".
    The character studies were absolutely wonderful. The cast was perfect, the acting was perfect and story was so BEAUTIFUL.
    Matthew Quick has an awesome mind to have given life to this.

    What a pleasant surprise!

    by Mikee355

    So much of our perceptions of a movie have to do with our expectations prior to seeing it. Zero Dark Thirty, Les Miserables, Lincoln, all great movies, but I expected them to be great. Silver Linings Playbook is a movie that I thought might be good, but it's superb. The acting, the story, the dynamic between several people with varying degrees of mild mental illness (the kinds we all have!) .... and all the while it was wonderfully entertaining, funny, captivating. For me, this was the sleeper movie of the year. Bradley Cooper deserves an Oscar.

    Funny, moving and beautifully acted

    by 212toni

    Silver Linings Playbook is moving, perceptive, not too sentimental or slapstick, well edited, unexpected, laugh-out-loud, heartbreaking and true. Lots of opportunies to go off the tracks here, but miraculously, it never happens. Go and have a wonderful time!
