Silver Linings Playbook

— “Silver Linings Playbook” has something for anyone – a dysfunctional family, OCD, bipolar disorder, separation, bereavement, promiscuity, and a title that gives us hope there may be a silver lining. Bradley Cooper proves to be much more capable than I’d thought he could be and Jennifer Lawrence is wonderful. This is an odd romance, maybe even a romantic comedy, that’s well crafted, engaging, and satisfying. Well worth seeing.
