So if you know me at all you know that I love to see a good film especially in theatre. The most recent film I've seen is going to be what I'll call my Flick Pick of the week. Not sure if I will continue to make these "flick picks" but to kick it off for this Thanksgiving holiday weekend is Silver Lining Playbook.
Directed by David O. Russell, staring Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Dinero. With special guest stars Chris Tucker and Julia Stiles. To give you a quick idea of this film, Cooper is released from a mental health facility into the care of his parents and is attempting to correct certain things with himself and get his life back.
This film is captivating, very funny, and may even inspire a few to get their lives back on track. I was also very impressed by the performance of both Lawrence and Cooper, but especially Bradley Cooper whom I thought couldn't deliver this sort of range in a film. There are some parts of this film where Cooper has you really thinking that he should still be held in that mental health facility. Rumors are already spreading that Jennifer Lawrence may be a Best Actress Oscar nominee.
Only time will tell how this film does in the box office or throughout award season, but it is definitely worth seeing and I would say one of the top 5 films I've seen this year.
