Here’s the skinny on the flick:
In the November 21 release, Pat Solatano has lost everything — his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back 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, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat’s parents want is for him to get back on his feet – and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany, a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives.
Oh man. How good does this movie look? Bradley Cooper, our girl Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert DeNiro? Please. It’s a total hit in the making, but that’s not a big surprise. I think anything Jennifer Lawrence touches is probably going to turn to gold—for at least a while, anyhow. It all fades after awhile, anyway.
‘Silver Linings’ looks like a must-see. You know, for that Saturday when you’re at home and the only thing you have to do is fold the sixteen loads of laundry from the week prior. Not that it’s a bad thing. No, quite the contrary, actually. When it takes me two-and-a-half hours to fold damn laundry, I want some good-quality entertainment, and Jennifer Lawrence? Well. She can save the plot of this movie if there were ever a woman to do it.
I had the pleasure of crashing one of Mr. Bradley’s scenes in this film.
Um, do tell? ;)
oh, I was a bit of pest, I suppose. Walking down Chestnut St. (in Philly) late at night I noticed all the lights and cameras (on the back of a truck)……….so I scampered across the street, where I was told “not to go” and bam—there’s Mr. Cooper walking out of a building filming. Without even thinking I blurted, “Hello, Bradley.” at this he promptly turned from me; people started yelling (at me) so I yelled, “Hey, Mr. Cooper!” and then he turned back around, waved and said, “well, hello!” I was then yelled at and told to “move along”.
