The Marion Palace Theatre will show the highly acclaimed motion-picture, Silver Linings Playbook on April 5, 6 & 7. The romantic comedy/drama is based on the bestselling novel by Matthew Quick and stars Bradley Cooper and 2013 Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, with Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher and Julia Stiles in supporting roles.
Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) has lost everything — his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother (Jacki Weaver) and father (Robert DeNiro) after spending eight months is a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat’s parents want is for him to get back on his feet-and to share their family’s obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he’ll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives.
Silver Linings Playbook walks a tricky thematic tightrope, but David O. Russell’s sensitive direction and some sharp work from a talented cast give it true balance and has received numerous accolades. It received eight Academy Award nominations, achieving the rare feat of being nominated in all four acting categories, with Lawrence winning the Academy Award for Best Actress.
This movie is rated R for language and some sexual content/nudity and runs for 2 hours, 2 minutes.
