Silver Linings Playbook
Directed by David O. Russell
Starring Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro
Rating: B
I enjoyed this movie, as I thought I would. It was intense, conflict orientated, sentimental, and cheerful at times. It is a true story of dysfunction breeds dysfunction, but family togetherness trumps all in the end. The relationship between what seems like an unlikely couple at the beginning blossoms as the two help each other through their emotional and psychological problems. The writer and director bring it all together in the end, as all of the different plot lines combine. You have the father's obsession and superstition over Eagles football, an ex-wife and a chance at reconciliation, a dance competition, and romantic tension over a could-be relationship. The movie had great story development from the build-up, to the climax, to the resolution. The best part of the movie, it had a happy ending.
