My Rating: 4.5/5
My first ever review comes to you after a late night viewing of Silver Linings, with a friend who wangled two free tickets.
I was anticipating good things from this film just because I'm a huge fan of the stars and, to be honest, I was looking forward to the eye candy. Gladly, I can say it didn't disappoint.
Bradley Cooper plays Pat, a bipolar patient recently released from a mental institution. He's staying with his parents while he tries to get his life (and wife) back, but finds the path less than smooth when he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) an equally troubled woman.
The witt in this film was impressively dry and it's always a bonus when it's ok to laugh at a bit of crazy. This definitely isn't your typical boy-girl romance, which is refreshing, and the combination of american football, dancing, comedy and romance caters for all genders. The dynamics of the ensemble cast is fantastic, especially during the many family blow-ups scattered throughout the film. Probably my favourite rom-com of the year.
