What happened when two clinically crazy people fall in love? This is the premise to Silver Linings Playbook. Struck from the novel of the same name, Silver Linings playbook by Nathan Quick, this is a tale of refusal. There is nothing worse than staring into the face of a break-up and refusing to see that life as you know it is over.  It devastates you, and when you see a friend go through this, there is nothing you can do except watch their entire being crumble before your eyes. This is what happens to us, that we cannot see. There has to be a level of acceptance, for there to be healing.

It sucks that your relationship ended, but sometimes a better world is already right in front of you. This is exactly what happens in Silver Linings Playbook. Bradley Cooper has to learn to let go of the woman who turned his back on him. He is devastated and can’t see that there is something right in front of him. Jennifer Lawrence is the love that he is searching for.
