What is Silver Linings: Movie Gold in Clouds of Grey?

Welcome to Silver Linings with Ray DeLancey and Ocean Murff. Have you ever liked — maybe even loved — a movie that everyone else seems to hate? You're not alone! We look at movies that are often panned by critics and audiences alike to see if their hate is warranted. Sure, we'll talk about what might be broken, but more important: we talk about what really works in these films with the hope that we change some minds along the way... maybe even yours. So sit back, relax, and let's take the guilt out of guilty pleasures.
