Movie To See This Weekend: Silver Linings Playbook

Since I saw Silver Linings Playbook over a month ago at an early screening and can't remember as many details as I would like, I am not going to do a full review. I did, however, want to let everyone know what a great film this is; definitely a must-see!

Silver Linings Playbook stars Jennifer Lawrence (of Hunger Games fame), Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro. The action of the film centers around Pat (Cooper), a man who was just released from a mental institution into the care of his parents. Pat is determined to win back the affection of his wife no matter what it takes, even if it means making a special deal to help Tiffany (Lawrence) fulfill a lifelong goal in exchange for her delivering letters to his ex. Tiffany has many problems of her own and the conflict between the two characters creates a great, often hilarious story. Also, you won't soon forget DeNiro being a hardcore, OCD Philadelphia Eagle fan.

The movie is a dramedy, with a bit more comedy than drama. The script is awesome and the acting was top-notch. It's definitely going to be award bait this season, and I imagine both Lawrence and Cooper will earn Golden Globes this year for their roles.
