This is what I learned at the hospital. You have to do everything you can, you have to work your hardest, and if you do, you have a shot at a silver lining – Pat Solitano

Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be – Abraham Lincoln

This film was released on DVD awhile ago and I have watched it again so I have decided to review it

This is writer/director David O. Russell’s follow up his 2010 film The Fighter

Pat Solitano (Cooper) after spending time in a mental institution is now out and living with his parents and is looking to get his life back on track and get back together with his wife. Pat meets Tiffany (Lawrence) a girl with her own problems, who offers to help Pat reconcile with his wife but first he has to do something important for her.

This film is amazingly Written and Directed, it’s stunningly acted, its perfectly paced and has a brilliant soundtrack

I love the way the film plays out and everything in this movie works extremely well

In this film you really have to sit back and enjoy the ride. It’s technically a romantic comedy but unlike some others I was not bored for a second from beginning to end

After this film ends I felt happy and its a great quality in a film if it makes you happy when you watch it

Silver Linings Playbook is definitely my absolute favourite movie of 2012. Well done David O. Russell for making such a great film

10/10 – Cody
