My favorite movie would have to be Silver Linings Playbook, written by Matthew Quick and Directed by David O. Russell. This movie identifies a variety of different genres: comedy and romance-drama are just two of these. This movie can relate to a range of different people; the themes are easily identifiable.
Silver Linings Playbook is about a struggling man, Pat Solitano Jr., portrayed by Bradley Cooper.

Obviously, this is how ended up in the mental institution; Pat also has a restraining order preventing him from being within 500 feet of her.
While he is on a run, he encounters his friend, Ronnie, who invites him to dinner at his wife, Veronica’s, request. He arrives at dinner later that week and he is told Veronicas sister, Tiffany, was also invited. They seemingly have a lot in common after bonding over the medication they both have taken at the dinner table. Tiffany is also clearly having a hard time coping with the situation she is going through, her husband, Tommy, died in an accident. They both have many psychological issues and …show more content…

This is a good movie, the storyline is interesting and keeps the viewers on their toes. The camera’s shots were perfect; they were appealing to the eye while at the same time captured every emotion the characters
