Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

A man who spent 8 months in a psychiatric hospital is released and goes to live with his parents. A friendly couple introduce him to a young widow who has also been through psychiatric treatment. She wants a romantic relationship with him, but he can only think of contacting his ex-wife, who has a restraining order on him.

Very feeble romantic comedy, pervaded by TV sitcom style, which I guess is somewhat of a trend in these days. I was going to say this was David and Lisa for the postmodern age, but reconsidered: the film isn't even good enough to deserve that kind of definition.

Rating: 20
