I loved Silver Linings Playbook. (It's the characters my title refers to, not the film.) First of all, I got to see this one with my mom. When is the last time the two of us saw a film together in a theatre? Maybe never? Anyway, I think it was a bad call for all the family members who declined to join us. The movie had great performances, admirable writing and delightful surprises within a semi-predictable format. A favorite moment of mine was Bradley Cooper's stunning reaction to Hemingway. You could argue that there are films with more heft, more artfulness, more originality or grander intentions, but so far, this one was the most enjoyable for me.
I can't wait to see it again! Excelsior!
