Trailer for Silver Linings Playbook

The first trailer for the comedy Silver Linings Playbook has arrived. Directed by David O. Russell (The Fighter) the film stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence and is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name about a former teacher who moves back in with his mother and tries to reconcile with his wife following four years spent in a mental institution. Silver Linings Playbook is slated to release on November 21.

Adapted from the best-selling novel by Matthew Quick, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK is a touching, one-of-a-kind comedy about love and second chances. Pat Peoples (Bradley 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 (Jennifer 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.
