Life doesn't always go according to plan. Pat Solatano has lost everything - his house, his job, and his wife – and finds himself living back with his mother and father after spending eight months in 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 (and the restraining order). However, when Pat meets Tiffany, an enigmatic and 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.

*This is a date movie that caters to the needs of both men and women:
American football and comedy, ballroom dancing and romance. Silver
Linings Playbook covers all those bases -- and rises above them too*
The Times
*Jennifer Lawrence is the standout in a tonally uneven, eccentric
romantic dramedy that fuses The Fisher King with Romy And Michele’s High
School Reunion.*
