Silver Linings Playbook - Could someone correct this text please. Thanks.
I´m not a real film buff, and although I like cinema (the movies), I don´t want speak like a film critic. I don´t usually go to the (the movies) either, although I go sometimes. Actually I often watch films on TV.
Anyway, talking about cinema, I Know which sort of movies I don´t like: Scary movies, especially if they are gory, and I like light-hearted romantic comedies.
However, recently, I saw a romantic one which I loved. The film is titled "Silver Linings Playbook" translated in Spanish as "El lado bueno de las cosas".
The film starred Bradley Cooper and Jeniffer Lawrence and luxury secondary actors as R. de Niro and Jacki Weaver, and all of them are fantastic.
Despite that the end is quite predictable, like every romantic comedy, the story-line is very creative and there arent many scenes that are too silly .
By the Way, Which exactly is the meaning of "Silver Linings Playbook"?
It just means that everything has a silver lining, or a bright side. The "play book" refers to a game, maybe football or any game that has a set of plays in it for the "game". In this case the game is probably love, and to every play there is a silver lining, or a bright side.
Thanks everyone for the corrections

Thanks everyone for the corrections.
Silver Lining usually refers to something hopeful or positive that might happen. The phrase most common is "Every cloud has a silver lining" which means that even though clouds are often dark and gloomy, something positive will come out of a gloomy situation. I read that it was used by John Milton in "Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle (1634)".
A playbook is a sport metaphor for which refers to the use of a book of (sport) plays used to achieve an outcome, i.e. win a game.
