Silver Linings Playbook is one of those movies that explore mental conditions. For some reason, these movies have more weight than "other" movies and are usually used to prove actors abilities. And this is exactly what happened here.

The main characters were portrayed by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. They both deliver fine performance, yet not very memorable, as critics in awe would like us to believe. For example, Bradley Cooper running around wearing a plastic bag presumably actually happened in real life cases, but didn't work out for me.

The plot might have been realistic, yet it simply failed to engage me. Despite all this, Silver Linings Playbook is not a bad movie, it rather hasn't been exceptionally good.
