I'm trying to catch up on 2012's Oscar nominees, and Silver Linings Playbook was next up to watch.
I liked it. A quirky film and Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are easy on the eyes. Overall I think that the concepts of mental illness and coping mechanisms are tastefully presented. And the happy ending gives the viewer the sense that "everything is going to be alright".
If I were to rate this movie on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the best), I would give it a 3.75 because:
-although Bradley Cooper is fantastically handsome, I wasn't completely sold on his portrayal of a bipolar disorder
&
-the whole situation came across preplanned and too predictable - there was no surprise or question that Jennifer Lawrence would win Cooper over
Worth a gander if you're looking for the not-your-average-RomCom movie evening.
