Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012) by Chillindylan G — 26 Feb 2015
Not gonna lie, my expectations for this film were not particularly high, despite of the numerous awards it received. But, boy, is this a fun ride. That's mostly thanks to the hilarious writing and outstanding acting.
Especially Lawrence and Cooper fill their roles with so much life you can't help but fall for the mentally ill couple. I never would have thought a film about football, depression and dancing could be this engaging and easy-going, despite of the serious undertones.
How Russell manages to turn that into a romantic comedy without the audience even noticing is a little wonder. A highly entertaining one.
