About this movie

Former highschool teacher Pat Solatano has lost everything - his house, his job, and his wife. After spending eight months in a psychiatric ward on a plea bargain, Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife - even though she has a restraining order against him. All Pat's parents want is for him to get back on his feet - and to share their family's obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany, the equally-troubled sister of his friend's wife, she offers to help Pat get in touch with his wife, but only if he'll be her partner in a freestyle dance competition. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives. David O. Russell (THE FIGHTER, FLIRTING WITH DISASTER) directs an all-star cast in the feel-good comedy of the year. 2012 The Weinstein Company, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

I think its either you love it or you hate it, and I hate it... Can't believe how many good reviews it had all over the internet but I really didn't like it... Bad script, Loved all the actors though, but they really could come up with much much better story

Best comedy ever! Such a realistic take on bipolar disorder and natural humor and finding true love unconventionally. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper well done, along with the supporting cast.

This movies good from story and the actors/actresses but I would not go as far to say best movie of the year not even close I don't see myself watching this again.........for a long time
