Pat Solitano pretty much feels that way all the time. He’s got issues.
Bradley Cooper plays Pat in Silver Linings Playbook and it’s a really difficult role, and Bradley completely pulls it off. There was never a false moment in the film. It’s disturbing and funny and romantic and it features a lot of Philly goombas, including Robert DeNiro as Pat’s dad. It’s DeNiro’s best role in twenty years.
It’s excellent. See it with a dysfunctional family member you love.
P.S.: That’s nine great films so far, with only two weeks left in the year – and I’ve never been short of a top-ten list. What I’m trying to say is: we’re all counting on you, Django Unchained.
