One-line review of Silver Linings Playbook:

Yawn.



I only watched it for Jennifer Lawrence. And she did a fine acting job, though I'm not sure it was really worth an Oscar.

But this was a really dull movie with a really dull story with really good actors.

Let's face it. Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar was REALLY for her performance in "Winter's Bone". (Just like Natalie Portman's Oscar was REALLY for Darren Aronofsky's directing that got that performance out of her.)

Jennifer Lawrence is always awesome, but "Winter's Bone" really gave her an opportunity to shine. It was a very subtle and nuanced film for an actress who is good at giving a subtle and nuanced performance.

Winter's Bone was awesome. Yeah, she deserved an Oscar for that one.
