Action Comedy Drama Romance

7.7 / 10

Against medical advice and without the knowledge of her husband Pat Solatano Sr., caring Dolores Solatano discharges her adult son, Pat Solatano Jr., from a Maryland mental health institution after his minimum eight month court ordered stint. The condition of the release includes Pat Jr. moving back in with his parents in their Philadelphia home. Although Pat Jr.'s institutionalization was due to him beating up the lover of his wife Nikki, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Nikki has since left him and has received a restraining order against him. Although he is on medication (which he doesn't take because of the way it makes him feel) and has mandatory therapy sessions, Pat Jr. feels like he can manage on the outside solely by healthy living and looking for the "silver linings" in his life. His goals are to get his old job back as a substitute teacher, but more importantly reunite with Nikki. He finds there are certain instances where he doesn't cope well, however no less so ...

Bad representation of anxiety. I don't want to see handsome and good looking actors portray unrealistic people. - @Saturday, October 6, 2018 9:57 PM

Bradley Cooper was incredibly miscast for this. Being a good-looking douche bag jock seems to his only attempt at actually portraying mental illness - @Friday, December 8, 2017 5:42 PM

One of the worst films I've ever seen. JL was severely miscast: we're expected to believe that she had a marriage that ended in her husband's death, followed by shagging around like crazy, then turned celibate - all while still in her early twenties? Why is there a pointless gambling subplot in this film which isn't in the novel that it's based on? None of the characters in this boring film are likeable, so how are we supposed to care about them? This is supposed to be a comedy, but there are no funny scenes or lines in it. - @Friday, August 11, 2017 8:02 PM

Jen was the star of the movie. It was noting without her. And she is the one that got it right. It is a love story. Period. About someone who loves someone else enough to make an effort. Kind of rare these days. All this crap with doctor Oz is pure BS. The system is foul and lying! - @Monday, April 20, 2015 8:30 PM

Ha! I can't believe their making this look like a romantic comedy. -_- When in reality it was no where near that! This film was emotional and it spoke more volumes to actual people who have gone through similar situations such as this than any movie I have ever seen before! Can't wait to show this to my family!!! :D - @Wednesday, September 24, 2014 5:00 AM
