    You would think I couldn't like a romantic comedy that celebrates the Philadelphia Eagles and has dancing. That's a bad combination for me. I grew up in the Washington D.C. area and spent over half my life in the area watching and rooting f

    Well acted movie that gives a great and darkly humorous view of mental illness, but that wimps out at the end, opting for a "happy ending" and all mental illnesses solved - happy, yes, realistic, no. Still a worthwhile effort.

    Good acting, riveting plot, tells you a lot about bipolar disorder, funny, moving, a 'feel good' movie with a message. (Watch out for spoiler next.) Yeah, maybe a little corny but sometimes it's nice to see things turn out well.

    One of the biggest disappointments I have ever seen. Jennifer Lawrence was a stand-out, but Cooper was unconvincing and De Niro was embarrassing. The ending was so predictable, that I called out the last judge's score,exactly,in advance!

    "Silver Linings Playbook" avoids all the rom-com pitfalls and clichés--a breath of fresh air to a stigmatized genre I typically avoid like the plague. It is an unconventional, quirky, amusing comedy drama about troubled people looking for l

    Well acted feel-good movie. Jennifer Lawrence is great. Bradley Cooper is great, also. Some of the scenes are uncomfortable, dealing with a bi-polar son off his meds(Bradley) and an OCD father(DeNiro).
