Dave and I love going to the movies. We go at least once a month and would go much more often if it wasn’t so expensive. Kora & Logan enjoy the movies but not quite as much as we do yet.
This post is sponsored by Lunchbox and Walmart Moviecenter.
They sometimes find sitting in a theater seat for the duration of a movie a little tough and at this age prefer to watch movies from the comfort of our couch at home. Which makes us all happy because not only is it a money saver but it’s a great way to spend time together.
Did you know when you visit Walmart Moviecenter you can watch trailers and exclusive videos? Sometimes watching trailers is my favorite part of the movie! I’ve said to Dave that I could honestly sit through an entire “movie” of trailers. I know it’s a little crazy but they always do such a great job with them that I find myself on the edge of my seat wondering what’s going to happen next.
Speaking of trailers, one that I stopped what I was doing to watch every time it was on was Silver Linings Playbook.
Bradley Cooper plays Pat Solatano who has moved back in with his parents after spending 8 months in a state institution on a plea bargain.
He’s lost everything but is determined to rebuild his life and reconnect with his wife. His parents want him to get back on his feet. He runs into Tiffany, played by Jennifer Lawrence, who is a bit mysterious and has problems of her own.
Tiffany offers to help Pat get back together with his wife if he’ll do something for her in return. As things start to pan out silver linings appear in both their lives.
It’s sounds like such a complex movie but very inspiring and the trailer reveals light-hearted humorous moments too. You can watch the Silver Linings Playbook Trailer here.
I’m looking forward to watching this movie soon, it will be a great night in for Dave and I where we won’t have to fight the crowds or pay outrageous ticket prices. While writing this post, I was interested to learn a bit of movie trivia as well:
Did you know…
- Silver Linings Playbook was nominated for 8 Academy Awards and it’s the first film to earn nods in all four acting categories since 1981?
- It is the first film to get the “Big Five” nominations which include Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing, Best Actor, Best Actress since Million Dollar Baby?
- Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence spent weeks practicing the ballroom dancing routine?

My FIL liked this movie and he always has the best recommendations – but we are only streaming Netflix right now so we don’t get to see things for a long time. Also can’t go to the movies til I’m done nursing this baby – but then who wants to leave the comforts of home anyway?

When they are joking at the table….funny

I like the dancing….and Robert Dinero. :-) Thank you.
I love the part where they are dancing!
So many to choose from! But I think it’s kind of funny when he has s discussion about Hemingway with his parents after hurling the book through a window.
My favorite part was something DeNiro said, paraphrased: “when life reaches out at you it’s a sin not to reach back”.
What I really like is that Bradley Cooper’s character says whatever is the worst thing he could say and the dialogue is witty and fast-paced. It’s something different than the formula rom-com.
I like Bradley Cooper in a dramatic role.
My favorite part definitely the reason jennifer tells Pat, why she has been fired from her job!
Would love to win this! Sounds amazing and i also can’t wait to see the movie! I read the book and it was great!
I can’t pick just one reason. My husband and I both have been wanting to see this moving. Everything about it looks good!! We were never able to see it in the theaters, and haven’t had a chance to rent.
I liked when he the girl tells the main character the reason why she got fired from the office and he said she didn’t have to talk about it, and then he said how many.
