Does that make me crazy?

Silver Linings Playbook

Crit

Never thought I'd use "David O. Russell" and "programmatic" in the same sentence, but this is straight out of the romcom playbook--girl loves boy, boy is saving himself for another who isn't interested, audience sees from the get-go that girl & boy are written in the stars--and the addition of bipolarity and depression to the mix doesn't meliorate the roteness much. What does make it watchable, even marginably ejoyable, is the commitment, you should pardon the expression, that Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper bring to their cute crazies.
