Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012) by Mary S — 03 Dec 2016

Rather uneven movie with a great cast, great director, but mediocre writing. The dialogue was so, so painful but the actors were able to overcome it with their performances. Bradley Cooper had acting chops that I have not seen but his dancing was pretty painful to watch.

Robert DiNero chews up the scenery whenever he is on screen, and I could almost sent that Cooper was pretty much in awe. Lawrence was a lovely ingenue who does know how to shake her booty but other than adorable she is pretty average as an actress.

Sorry it did not make more of a statement on mental illness, there was more than an opportunity but it's happy-happy ending kind of failed it.
