Silver Linings Playbook - my review

Ok now i know all I am posting lately is only movie reviews ... so I thought this time .. I shall narrate the story  of this one .. or atleast the summary for all my readers .

hmmm so Pat Solitano Jr. (Bradley Cooper), who has bipolar disorder (in very few scenes), is released from a mental health facility into the care of his parents (who appear more scary than him) after eight months of treatment. Pat soon learns that his wife, Nikki is basically a horny bitch and, has moved away (with no matter who) and his father, Pat Sr. (Robert De Niro), is out of work and resorting to bookmaking to earn money to start a restaurant. Yeah beat that! Misery from all ends
But its not only he, who is in a mess!! Tiffany Maxwell (Jennifer Lawrence), a recent widow, who also just lost her job and  has a slutty past, meets Pat at a friend’s place … and Pat (determined to get his life back on track and reconcile with Nikki, who obtained a restraining order against him after a violent episode) can’t help but check out Tiffany’s boobs … to which Tiffany  offers Pat to be her dancing partner, in an upcoming dance competition and also promises to deliver his letter to Nikki.
The rest of the movie shows how Pat’s Father (who ironically considers Pat to be his good luck charm ) makes a parlay with his gambling friend about the dance competition and an Eagles game  - and how Pat  with tiffany’s help manages to save his pops ass !! and How Tiffany manages to get Pat ! 
Anupam Kher plays Pats therapist Dr. Patel and gets beaten up by a few racist thugs during some game.. lol   - he does not get much screen time or importance … I personally feel a quality actor like him shouldn’t have taken up such a role just for another Hollywood tag.

Anyways I liked the movie, It was fun .. Had a Pleasant Sunday afternoon ... and then they say its not a bad movie as I've described it!  Darling Wikipedia says : "Silver Linings Playbook premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2012, and was released in the United States on November 16, 2012. The film opened to major critical success and earned numerous accolades. It received eightAcademy Award nominations, achieving the rare feat of being nominated in all four acting categories, the first time since Reds in 1981, and also being nominated for the Big Five, the first time since Million Dollar Baby in 2004, with Lawrence winning the Academy Award for Best Actress. It also achieved four Golden Globe Award nominations, with Lawrence winning Best Actress; three BAFTA nominations, with Russell winning for Best Adapted Screenplay; four Screen Actors Guild nominations, with Lawrence winning Best Actress; and five Independent Spirit Award nominations, winning in four categories including Best Film and Best Actress".
