Author Topic: Silver Linings Playbook (2012) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 03-02-2013 11:30 PM                        CINEMA: Delta Air Lines Boeing 737-800 AUDITORIUM: N383DN PRESENTATION: In-flight movie (VHS displayed on small 4:3 LCD screens lowered from ceiling, cheap earbuds) PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Pan-and-scan, swear words muted RATING: Three and one half stars (out of four) This has been on my "see" list for some time, but I never got around to it. So it was a pleasant surprise to get to see it on a flight. This may be the angriest romantic comedy ever (unless you count "Bad Santa" as a romantic comedy). Jennifer Lawrence blasts into this movie full force and never lets up. And although I had problems with the idea that Bradley Cooper's character didn't sweep her up immediately upon meeting her, they wrapped that loophole up decently enough at the end. There isn't a bad performance in this. It's angry. It's funny. It's just freaking great. See it while it's still out there.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 03-03-2013 07:17 AM                     You should see it in a real fucking movie theatre, with all the fucking swear words left the fuck in.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-03-2013 09:13 AM                     quote: You should see it in a real fucking movie theatre, with all the fucking swear words left the fuck in. [fu] Uncomfortable seats with just the bare minimum of legroom, small screens, bad picture, crappy sound and shitty overal service? You can get that in many real fucking movie theaters too Regarding the movie. Usually, if the genre is something like "romantic comedy" it will scare me away, but this one was actually quite enjoyable. It's not like the plot is really that good, but the way it's being acted out is really good and makes up for all the remaining cliche in the movie.  |  IP: Logged
