Following last week’s new trailer premiere, today arrives the first clip from David O. Russell’s upcoming drama Silver Linings Playbook. Hinted at in the aforementioned trailer, we are privy to a scene between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence as they discuss their medicine intake and disrupt Julia Stiles‘ dinner.
O. Russell has previously shown a knack for this familial interplay and its clearly evident here. As we said in our glowing Toronto review, “the dynamic between Lawrence and Cooper is an unequivocal success,” one that is “heartwarmingly sweet and confrontationally cruel.” Check out the clip below for the film also starring Robert De Niro, Anupam Kher, Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker.
Synopsis:
Pat Peoples (Cooper) is a man always trying to look on the bright side of life – the title of the story takes it’s name from the expression that “every cloud has a silver lining.” Released from the hospital after losing his wife to another man, Pat believes this age-old adage is just the ticket to trying to win her back and get his life on track. Trying to remain resolutely undiscouraged, Pat moves back in with his parents and devotes himself entirely to becoming the man his wife always wanted him to be. But it’s an uphill battle. Until Pat meets Tiffany (Lawrence), a beautiful young woman whose life also has not turned out the way she wanted. Together, the couple will try and navigate through their lives and stay true to who they are, always just one adventure away from a unique friendship, and possibly even love.
Silver Linings Playbook arrives on November 21st.
