Silver Linings Playbook.... (Spoilers)

Well let me preface by saying that I've got a brother that's full blown Bi-Polar and has been for years.

I thought the whole first half of the movie was great and spot on. Acting was excellent. The way they showed how a Manic state a person will go from wild personality changes and seeming rational one minute then go totally irrational the next is just what happens in my experience.

But the second half went totally flat. He stopped being manic and the whole thing became nothing but a typical Hollywood boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back.

I know the explanation is he started taking his meds. But it still rang hollow. Even when on their meds they're prone to going over the deep end at anytime.

And anyone that thinks those two mentals are going to meet up and six weeks later it's happily ever after needs his head examined.
