"If you do everything you can, you have a shot at a silver lining." 

Such is the mantra of Bradley Cooper's character, Pat Solitano, in the upcoming indie dramedy Silver Linings Playbook, in which he plays a mental patient who moves back in with his parents to straighten out his life. 

And it appears that silver lining comes in the form of onscreen love Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a dancer also recovering from mental illness who falls for him. 

The star-studded cast includes Robert De Niro and Jackie Weaver, who play Cooper's parents in the flick, as well as Chris Tucker and Julia Stiles.

Silver Linings Playbook, based on the novel by Matthew Quick, hits theaters Nov. 21.
