“I donu0026#39;t even know where to begin when it comes to this film. First of all, I think itu0026#39;s about time I profess my love for David Ou0026#39;Russell because he keeps making movies that I simply canu0026#39;t get enough of. If thereu0026#39;s one thing Iu0026#39;ve learned this year when it comes to movies, itu0026#39;s find a director you love and follow him or her blindly. Thereu0026#39;s styles youu0026#39;ll love, and styles youu0026#39;ll hate, find the ones you click with and never let go.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSilver Linings Playbook has generated a lot of hype since its worldwide premiere at TIFF, and frankly, as far as Iu0026#39;m concerned, it deserves all the praise its received. It is by far the best film I saw at the festival, and is easily one of the most memorable films of 2012. Based on the novel by Matthew Quick, Silver Linings follows the life of Pat (Bradley Cooper) as he moves back into his parentsu0026#39; house after spending months in a mental institution because of a violent outburst that occurred after he found his wife with another man. The movie follows Pat as he attempts to get back his life back, but he meets a new challenge as Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence, who is completely girl crush worthy) finds his way into his life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI honestly canu0026#39;t remember the last time I enjoyed a movie more from beginning to end. Ou0026#39;Russell brilliantly tells a heartwarming, yet complicated and hilarious tale, that leaves you on the edge of the seat. The cast is wonderful, and all deserving of nominations in the 2012 award season. If people didnu0026#39;t know of Jennifer Lawrence before, they will now. Sheu0026#39;s quirky, complicated, hilarious, and you really just canu0026#39;t get enough of her. DeNiro also delivers a strong performance as Cooperu0026#39;s Philadelphia Eagleu0026#39;s loving, somewhat OCD father.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf there is one movie worth seeing this year, itu0026#39;s Silver Linings Playbook. The story may follow a family in a very serious situation, but we can all identity with the truth and emotions that comes with struggling through times. Itu0026#39;s a story thatu0026#39;s easy to connect with, and itu0026#39;s a film that will make you smile from beginning to end. Catch this movie when it comes out in November, and I promise you, you wonu0026#39;t regret it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor more Reviews Check out.”
