Silver Linings Playbook is a drama/romance set in Philadelphia.

After eight months in a psychiatric ward Pat Solitano Jr (Bradley Cooper) is out and living with his parents, though he's still a fairly shaky manic-depressive pining for his estranged wife who cheated on him triggering a very violent response from Pat. Pat's friend sets him up with Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who's recovering from grieving for her recently deceased husband, a recover that involved sleeping with everyone she could to make the pain go away.

Since there's a restraining order Pat can't directly talk to his wife but he can get a letter to her through Tiffany (mind you they both acknowledge that still violates the restraining order). In return for that favor Tiffany wants Pat to partner with her at an upcoming dance competition. All the rehearsing helps Pat focus his mind and calms him down but his growing attraction to Tiffany threatens getting back with his wife...

This is a movie that won a bunch of awards yet the concept and trailers made it seem like a serious, downer movie. There are a few elements of that but it's not about how bad mental disorders are. It's about overcoming those mental problems and finding happiness. The first hour is ok and the second hour picks up and there is a climactic dance number which is a bit surreal (it's pretty funny that they're practicing all these disparate dance numbers and I assumed they were trying to decide what their dance number would be but it turns out they used all the disparate dance routines medley-style).

Turns out this was a pretty good movie with a good ending.
