| Silver Linings Playbook | comment |
A 2012 film directed by David O. Russell, based on the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick.Pat (Bradley Cooper) is trying to put his life back together. He's just spent eight months in a mental hospital on a plea bargain, after nearly beating his wife's lover to death when he caught them in the shower. He's forced to move back in with his parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) and put up with his father's obsessive and superstitious love for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's desperate to reunite with his wife, but the restraining order makes that a bit tough. And then he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a girl with just as many problems as him who may be the key to solving his own. | |

Age Lift | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Tiffany is around 39 in the book; in the film, she's played by 21-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, though the character has a Vague Age somewhere in her later twenties. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The first full trailer for the film featured Pat's line "I'm my best self today, and I think she's her best self too," presented in a way that implies he's referring to Tiffany; in context, he's referring to Nikki. Another trailer makes it look like Pat started the fight at the Eagles game when one of Jake's friends said something insensitive. In the movie, Pat remains perfectly calm after the friend makes the comment, and the fight is started by some racist assholes who attack his therapist. | |

Papa Wolf: Pat Sr shows shades of this towards Pat Jr. In the nosy neighborhood kid's first scene, it's shown that the reason Pat Sr doesn't like him is out of protection of Pat Jr's feelings. Also, in Jake's introduction scene, Pat Sr calls him out on being unintentionally insensitive towards Pat Jr. | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: To some extent; Pat relates an incident where he tried to report his wife and a history teacher at the school they worked at for conspiring against him, which he later recognizes correctly as a delusion. However, he learns barely a week later that they are in fact having an affair. When Pat hears his wedding song in the waiting room of his therapist's office, he immediately assumes someone put it on to deliberately provoke him. One could be forgiven for assuming this is another delusion but in fact his therapist did just that, to test if the song was still a trigger. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: As the movie takes place in 2008, anyone familiar with the NFL could tell you that Eagles were going to beat the Cowboys and make the playoffs. This also makes the decision not to bet on the Bengals game a good one because that game ended in a tie. So, the football side of the bet is quickly won so the story can focus on the dance contest. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Pat beating the crap out of his wife's lover gets him arrested, sent to a mental hospital, having to attend mandatory therapy as a condition of his release, and with a restraining order against him. While his wife and her lover's actions are never made out to be "right", it's made clear that his violent reaction isn't either. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Deconstructed. Someone who so fully rejects societal norms may have other reasons besides whimsy. Someone who devotes all their time to fixing someone else may be a Stalker with a Crush or hired by the guy’s family. And someone who will sleep with a self-absorbed manic-depressive they barely know may have her own emotional or psychological problems. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: The film and the book don't diverge much until about halfway through, then go on completely different paths. For example: in the book, the dance competition takes place much earlier in the plot, is organized for troubled teens (making Tiffany the odd woman out in more ways than one), has no prize beyond participation (and has no bet riding on it) and in the end has little effect on the plot's resolution beyond Tiffany and Pat's relationship. Neither does Nikki show up. | |

All Take and No Give: Tiffany discusses how she can give someone everything and then still feel empty afterwards due to people's habit of doing this. "I do this! Time after time after time! I do all this shit for other people! And then I wake up and I'm empty! I have nothing!" Also lampshaded in that Pat expected Tiffany to give his ex-wife a note, without giving anything in return as a gesture of friendship. | |

Aloof Big Brother: Pat's brother Jake. He even lists his accomplishments in direct comparison to Pat's failures. This is more subverted. Jake does turn out to care about Pat. It's just that he had a rather awkward reintroduction with him. Played more straight with Veronica, who is quite apathetic towards Tiffany. | |

Isn't It Ironic?: Pat and Nikki's wedding song was "My Chérie Amour", which is really an unrequited love song to a girl who doesn't notice the singer's existence. Not only is this a bad omen for the marriage itself (and aptly playing on the stereo when he catches her cheating on him), it also foreshadows just how one-sided Pat's attempts at reconciliation are going to be. | |

Broken Bird: Tiffany. Pat practically mentions this trope by name when he's describing her. | |

Stepford Suburbia: Veronica and Ronnie have some hints of this going on, particularly with the revelation that Ronnie is barely holding together from all the pressure of maintaining the perfect suburban image. They're on their way to work it out after Pat tells him that he needs to confront these fears. | |

Sex for Solace | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_e11027bb | comment |
Sex for Solace: After her husband died, Tiffany started sleeping around. Her husband died on the way home from buying lingerie to rekindle their sex life, which had slowed down. It’s suggested that she was using the sex to feel closer to him again, and might even have been pretending her partners were him. | |

Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Tiffany. A good example is the time she first meets Pat. After he walks her home, she offers to sleep with him. Pat rejects, saying that he's married. Tiffany responds that so is she, but Pat counters that her husband is dead. Tiffany cries and hugs him, then slaps him in the face and walks away. | |

Throw the Book at Them | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_e2de05e8 | comment |
Throw the Book at Them: Though not at someone, Pat chucks A Farewell to Arms out his bedroom window upon finishing it. And throws a fit at its Downer Ending. Played straight in a deleted scene, when Pat throws a copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest aside for the same reason, and it hits his father in the face, purely by accident. It appears from his father's reaction that this scene is meant to take place after the earlier one. | |

Down to the Last Play | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_e4d98039 | comment |
Down to the Last Play: Somewhat inverted, the final dance has the two performing rather well, but botch the climactic move where he holds her above him (she gets up there, but it is clumsy-looking). That gives greater tension when they are waiting for their score and the last judge rates them high enough to average a 5. The whole dance subverts the trope anyway, as they go in for a personal goal and not to be the best. | |

Reluctant Psycho | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_e5700c89 | comment |
Reluctant Psycho: Pat's story arc is about coming to terms with the fact that he's one of these. The Psycho part of it becomes frighteningly apparent on the night he starts searching the house for his wedding video. He freaks out because he can't find it, wakes up everyone in the neighborhood with his shouting, hits his own mother in the face (albeit accidentally) when she tries to restrain him and then gets into a fistfight with his own father. | |

Insane Equals Violent | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_e57c714d | comment |
Insane Equals Violent: This is mostly averted. Of all the characters, Pat is the only one who has displayed violence. Even then there were only a few incidents. One was purely an accident when he hit his mother in the face when she tried to restrain him in the middle of a freakout. Another time was to break up a fight and defend his brother from some racist assholes. One was much more violent, however, as he nearly beat to death the man who he caught having sex with his wife. In his house. While his wedding song was playing. And after he asked PAT to leave. Perfectly sane men would've done the same thing. For the most part, he really is a nice guy who doesn't want to hurt people. | |

Hollywood Psych | |
| Silver Linings Playbook / int_f6214be1 | comment |
Hollywood Psych: Although the film has been praised for "accurate" depictions of people with mental illness, Pat and Tiffany are particularly extreme examples of patients with bipolar disorder. The majority of people with bipolar do not have public shouting matches or throw things in a diner. No Social Skills isn't a permanent part of having the illness, either— in fact, many people with bipolar disorder are incredibly charming and magnetic while in a manic episode. | |
