Nutters In Love
The Silver Linings Playbook “looks fast and sharp — a raggedy-jazz comedy about caustic humor, family, sex, anxiety, therapy, hurt, healing…all of it. Edgy, crackling, push-pushy, what-the-fucky. Directed and written by David O. Russell, adapted from the serio-comic novel by Matthew Quick. Agitated, lacking-in-people-skills Bradley Cooper falls in love with Jennifer Lawrence. Robert De Niro, Julia Stiles, Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker costar.” — from a 5.21 Cannes Film Festival riff about my first look at a Silver Linings reel.
Shouldn’t this logically be called Rush Hour 4? It was my understanding that any movie with Chris Tucker had to be called Rush Hour followed by a number. Jackie Chan looks an awful lot like Bradley Cooper.
Kidding aside this looks nice. The dance competition angle could be annoying but it might be nice to see DeNiro in something decent. When did that last happen?
Bu back to Tucker. Is he broke? Did the Rush Hour money finally dry up? Will he still act like a hummingbird on speed when he’s on screen?
All i know is that Bradley Cooper has eyes that are too close together. He was a rat like quality that makes him wierd to look at for any length of time.

STONE
Being Flynn
Limitless
Killer Elite
I’ll grant you Stone, Being Flynn and Limitless, but Killer Elite? I never heard a good word about that film.
“might be nice to see DeNiro in something decent”
Also: “Everybody’s Fine”
“Killer Elite? I never heard a good word about that film.”
well maybe if you had watched it you would know how great it was
This looks atrocious. Like THE FIGHTER, it appears to be another milquetoast stab at “respectability” from an oddball director who has made some GREAT movies from the edge of danger. I know the Weinsteins always cut awful Oscar-begging trailers, but in this case, the footage appears to be just as bland.
People with mental illness rarely, if ever, look like Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. The meds take their toll of the bodies. So from that perspective, this is pretty unbelievable. Also sad to see Julia Stiles playing second fiddle to Jennifer Lawrence, but I guess someone has to. Lawrence is like Julia Stiles 2.0.
“People with mental illness rarely, if ever, look like Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. ”
I actually work with the mentally ill and I can tell you without the slightest shadow of a doubt that your comment is WRONG WRONG WRONG. This movie looks terrible but I can’t just let this jaw-droppingly ill-informed comment go by the wayside.
