Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
Genre: Comedy/Romance
Starring:  Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher
Directed by: David O. Russel
Rated: USA: R, UK:15

Review:

One thing in which David Russel is best is in how to make people act. We have seen him in his previous movie 'The Fighter, where he pulled out the best from Wahlberg and Bale. And in this beautiful 'romcom' he did it again with Cooper and Lawrence.

Adapted to Screenplay by David Russel himself from the novel 'The Silver Linings Playbook' by Matthew Quick, Silver Linings Playbook is a fresh, out of the box, entertaining (most of it), yet predictable and a bit dull at times. The best part being its freshness and brilliant performances by all the actors and actresses in the right way, at the right moment. It has all the emotions which needs a movie to get loved by people. But somewhere it looses its charm and goes blatantly plain and you start loosing interest in it. Then again it picks up its pace and you start building up interest in it. Like a roller-coaster ride it goes on and off.

It does not have much laughable moments or moment that could make you cry, but it has lovely one liners which you would like and is as I said - entertaining for most of its part. And if you will go deep down into it, you may actually love this movie.

My Recommendation: Its a weekend movie, go and enjoy with you partner. Because romcom is the one genre you would love to enjoy with them. Because when this will end, you will say - 'It was not at all bad'... lol. Happy Movie Watching!

Why Should I See?: Fresh Plot, Praiseworthy Performances
Why Should I Not?: Predictable and dull at times.

Rating: 3.5/5

    All the post are nicely written, but I see none after 2013, you should start writing again. Please watch The Painted Veil and write about it, waiting for your review :)
