Silver Linings Playbook

For some, Silver Linings Playbook will be a barking drama where characters merely argue, shoot diagnoses at each other, and search for happiness through priorities that are not entirely understandable. For me, Playbook is a confession, an awakening, the power of life, and a shouted desire for happiness. If I were so bold as to say that at the end of the movie, I was feeling that no matter what happens, I've got a chance to prove what is most important to me in life, it would sound like the most worn-out cliché. But it was Pat and Tiffany who got me into this sincere mood – from the first monologue to the captivating ending. (2013-02-08)

A great romantic comedy, the best for the past... a really long time. Very untraditional, argumentative and full of paradoxical situations. Bradley Cooper is excellent (well-deserved nomination) and Jennifer Lawrence (well-deserved nomination) is the perfect psycho fox with a sensitive soul. Notwithstanding the unarguable qualities of the main duo, De Niro (well-deserved nomination) rocks the most. An unpredictable, cute, but unintrusive movie that you can take a girl to and rather than the date turning bitter, you will more likely be treated to a sweet dessert. (2013-01-24)

I'm going to be harsh and lean towards a lower rating, because as a whole this film didn't quite make the best impression on me. In terms of the acting there’s nothing to fault, but in terms of content it's pretty empty. I was bored at times, then the rush of emotions made my head spin. The only thing I really liked were the dance scenes. 3.5 stars. (2013-08-28)

An excellent actors’ film. The Oscar hype may be exaggerated in this case, and the story offers no memorable authorial ideas, but it's a heavy-handed feel-good film with beautifully drawn characters that, for me, represents one of the most honest depictions of an ordinary American family in recent years. Where authenticity commits suicide, it's fully supported by the palpable chemistry between Bradley and the divine Jennifer, which (the chemistry) had me glued to my seat, and who (Jennifer) stirred my remaining teenage hormones and left no doubt that she was more deserving of an Oscar than any actress not named Meryl Streep. It’s a pure caricature, as is usual with O. Russel, but it’s funny and, judging by the enthusiastic reception, obviously good. (2013-03-29)

Who is crazy? And who is normal? I rather feel that the crazy person is in all of us, the question is, what, who and how activates it. In this movie Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper activated it before the story began and I see only the therapy. I have to say, it was really nice to watch. Especially Jennifer Lawrence and especially when she was twisting during the dancing. Nevertheless, I really have to admit that I haven’t seen such unique romantic movie in a really long time. Properly crazy, honestly funny and realistic in the way only life can be. (2014-05-07)
