A+ for the cast and plot.

A for quirky humor coupled with seriousness.
A for refreshing realism.
A for one liners/quotes.
Based on the novel by Matthew Quick, this movie is about a man who left a mental institution to clean himself up in an attempt to reconcile with his estranged wife. Along the way he finds himself also stuck dealing with daddy issues, entangled intricacies of family and friends, and meeting an enigmatic, authentic girl.
This movie has a fantastic cast - Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence (I kept thinking where have I seen her before? Then it hit me - Hunger Games and Xmen), and Robert De Niro to name a few. I was even delighted to see Chris Tucker again - last time I recall seeing him was in Rush Hour and Fifth Element.
With the right blend of humor and dose of reality, minus the cheesiness and overt predictability, Silver Linings Playbook teaches us that it's okay to laugh even when things aren't funny, to forgive when all you wanna do is forget without forgiving, and that we all have difficulties but we can make it, be happy, captain our own ships. Make changes by walking the walk not just talking the talk. Live life to the fullest and laugh the whole way through!
