Reviews (4) Write a reviewGreat movie. Acting was amazing very impressed with both Bradley Cooper even though I thought he was a good actor already, and Jennifer Lawrence she surprised me. I know have high expectations of her.
Bradley Cooper in truly his best acting job yet. Jennifer Lawrence is stunningly beautiful and funny. Really enjoyable movie.
Really liked the first half of the movie, the rest goes down.
Silver Linings Playbook has the winning timing and bounce of an old fashioned screwball comedy, but instead of being projected by the effortless charm of Grant and Hepburn, we have the off kilter rhythms and manic intensity of the characters played by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, surely the movie couple of the year. It's gloriously funny even as the the laughs often catch in your throat. The actors are all amazing, and David Russell frictionlessly and expertly shapes the film, so that In the end, you just badly want all of these vivid and damaged people to realize just how much they love each other.
