Movie Review: Silver Linings Playbook

Raucous Romantic Romp

An intelligent film, with intelligent actors and an intelligent script is bound to do be good and Silver Linings Playbook turns out to be just that.

Tiffany and Pat played by Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper keep the film gritty and grounded while a no-time-for-niceties director David O Russell steers it with outstanding ability.

Pain is the undertone in almost every single scene in the film. However, the pain will be mixed with a lot of laughter as Russell keeps every scene filled with humour and sharp wit. This mix of sadness and happiness without going the black comedy route is highly entertaining and will keep you interested till the very end.

Bradley Cooper whose claim to fame is Hangover and People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive award, seizes the juiciest role of his career and meets every comic and dramatic challenge. Jennifer Lawrence on the other end is an absolute wonder to watch. She can be raunchy, dirty, sexy, foul mouthed and pleasant, even in the same scene sometimes.

The greatest achievement of the film at the end of the day is the fact that it is a comedy which never gets stale and circumvents predictability at every turn.

The entire genre of rom-com needed a strong contender to bring back its credibility by infusing it with grit, and emotions stemming from reality rather than amped up social montages or people walking on the beach. Go watch it, for you would love it.
