Silver Linings Playbook

I watched it the other night, I knew how it ended pretty much before it began.
I probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't for the fact it was so highly predictable.

Decent flick, kind of lost interest in the last 30 minutes. Jennifer Lawrence looks good with dark hair.

I'd agree with the 'decent' tag for this film. There was one point fairly early on where I almost stopped watching but I'm glad I didn't as it definatily improved from the middle onwards.

Not really a movie you watch for plot twists but really well acted and was interesting to see the similarities between the father and son. One was just a bit further down the line from 'normal'.

Ugh please dont compare this to zero dark thirty. What a pile a crap that was imo. At least this was well acted and different. For how many movies people say are predictable makes me think they dont watch them to be entertained. Maybe they are hoping for some life changing cinematic experience. I always want to be entertained first and if its better then that well it is money very well spent.

You must have fucking hated Zero Dark Thirty.....

The story/ending, yeah very predictable. Incidental to me, though. The characters and writing very outstanding. Again to someone who doesn't know someone like the lead character it's possibly meaningless and annoying.

I haven't seen zero dark thirty for that exact reason. Nor do I plan on seeing it.

Chris Tucker is back!

I don't get why people looked at him as crazy after he beat up the guy who was banging his wife. Like would anyone not do that lol

Yeah it was sort of odd I heard he had a huge cock though

Jennifer Lawrence is what makes this movie great

Don't really think Deniro was stable himself. They both kind of antagonized each other.

Yeah I think it was heavily implied that his father had mental issues too, with the OCD and all.

Actually thought Jennifer Lawrences character was the weakest written.

I've known girls like that, not specifically caused by the situation in the movie, but meh, I thought she did a good job with that role.

Unlike some other people, I enjoyed the first half of the movie more than the second half, there were quite a few laugh out loud moments for me.

I thought that it was fucking hilarious. Nice dry, dark humor.

Well in the civilized world , you move on if your wife is banging someone else. Obviously you were not making her happy , or whatever reason she had. I thought it was a good emotional movie , showing how two people can love one another even with huge problems like the 2 had. They found happiness with one another , too many people go through life looking for said happiness and never find it. Because they want a particular person to make them happy like the character in this movie , he believed his wife was the one for him. Even though she was telling him how he needed to lose weight and pay attention to her more. But he meets a girl that loves him just the way he is , its just a take on what the writers percieved to be love and i thought they did a good job with it.

Also Deniros character takes some blame for the way he turned out in one scene , so he is aware of what he is doing. Just looks for an out on HIS problems. People do this all the time , hell you might even be guilty of doing it. People have issues themselves and rather try to fix it , they blame others for causing it and jusitfy having it because of said excuse. Like how he blames his wife for causing him pain because she had their wedding music on when she was getting muff dived. When its just a song , but he made it into something other then just a song.
