Silver Linings Playbook

I blogged about this last year and it came through my LoveFilm subscription. Pat (Bradley Cooper) moves back in with his parents while trying to put his life, and marriage, back together after a stay in a psychiatric hospital for bipolar disorder, when he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence).


A very good romantic comedy. The plot is a little contrived in places, but there is a useful side story with Pat's father's (Robert De Niro) superstitious gambling. The acting is top notch from the leads (Lawrence won an Oscar, but Cooper was good as well), with a lot of emotional engagement. Highly recommended.
