Line #11 YMMV/SilverLiningsPlaybook


1	* AdaptationDisplacement: This work doesn't have a literature tab yet for a reason.
2	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: While definitely sympathetic it's possible to read Tiffany as rather manipulative. It's revealed that she used information from Pat's mother to arrange "coincidental" meetups with him on his runs, she persuades Pat to spend time with her by promising to assist him reconcile with his wife, forges a letter from her and lies to him about Nicky will be present at the dance. She also displays conveniently encyclopedic knowledge of Eagles when interacting with Pat's father despite claiming not to like football earlier in the film.
3	* CaptainObviousReveal: It's a little unclear whether the revelation that Tiffany wrote Nikki's note to Pat is supposed to be a twist given how obvious it is. Even if you didn't get suspicious by the contents of the letter, the fact that even the signature is typed rather than handwritten, or Tiffany's description of Nikki's mood when handing it over, the twist is mad quite clear when Pat rereads passages of the note and then glances suspiciously in Tiffany's direction. Even still, the film never acknowledges it until Pat surprised Tiffany in the end.
4	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct:
5	** You never once expected in a million years that there would ever be an Oscar-nominated film that stars Creator/ChrisTucker in a grounded, nuanced role [[PlayingAgainstType completely different]] than hyperactive loudmouths he usually plays.
6	** At the time of release the same could be said about Creator/BradleyCooper ever being nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, with his work here helping to establish ''Film/TheHangover'' actor as a critical darling.
7	* HilariousInHindsight:
8	** In 2014, Jennifer Lawrence began dating [[{{Music/Coldplay}} Chris Martin]] who is 14 years older than her.
9	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwer5w3pEzE&feature=youtu.be This comes in mind]] concerning the finale of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''.
10	* HypeBacklash: While Creator/JenniferLawrence was reaching the height of her popularity and appeal with this role, and the win was generally applauded, her popularity began to take a serious hit in the years following her Oscar win, leading some to complain that her performance was overhyped and SoOkayItsAverage, and the award should have gone to another actress. In some cinemaphile circles, it's gotten so bad that some believe that ''anyone'' but her should have been awarded.
11	* JerkassWoobie: Tiffany may be hostile, but she is a BrokenBird.
12	* QuestionableCasting: 21-year-old Jennifer Lawrence plays Tiffany, who was 39 in the original book. It's especially noticeable as Tiffany is a widow, which would be much less likely for a woman in her twenties.
13	* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Jennifer Lawrence and Creator/JuliaStiles are very believable as sisters.
14	* TearJerker: Pat Sr's heart-to-heart with Pat Jr. Also doubles as a Moment of Heartwarming.
15	--> "Maybe I didn't spend enough time with you growing up. I spent too much time with your brother (tears well up in his eyes). It might've made you feel worse about your behavior, but I... I didn't know anything, I didn't know how to handle it. I mean, that's what all this Eagles stuff is about. It's about us, spending time now I... (voice breaks) I wanna do everything I can to help you get back on your feet. That... that's the whole point. Yeah. I wish you'd watch these games with me, so we could talk, we could get into things."
16	* TheWoobie: Pat and Tiffany.
