Silver Linings Playbook

Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper, “The Hangover”) has lost everything: his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself back living with his mother and father after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive, and reunite with his wife. All Pat’s parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) want is for him to get back on his feet – and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles. When he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence, “The Hunger Games”), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, she offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something for her in return. As their deal plays out, silver linings appear in both of their lives. “Silver Linings Playbook” won the People’s Choice Award at the 2012 Toronto Film Festival.
