In a world filled with junks and crap and collections of gibberish calling themselves movies, the real silver-lining is that works like Silver Linings Playbook still exist, rare though they are. A true gem, this is a movie that inspires with courage, with love, with laughter and with tears. In both the most quirky and yet conventional way, the film gives you hope, which is of course the only silver lining we need in life. Silver Linings Playbook is an eccentric love story between Pat (Bradly Cooper), a person with bipolar disorder who was just released from a mental institution for almost beating his wife's lover to death, and Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a young widow who lost not only her husband but also her job for dealing with her loss in the most inappropriate possible at the workplace. With their emotional baggage, both Pat and Tiffany are constant worries for their families and friends. How they help each other through every hardship, every turmoil, every breaking point, is the backbone of this amazing tale. A journey filled with unexpected turns, the pot at the end of this rainbow is a treasure of immeasurable joy.
