I wanted to see this movie because I loved the trailer so I got the movie & was disapointing. I thought the charecter Poppy was annoying & sometimes... when she talks I did not understand her. the acting was really bad, & the movie did not go anywhere It was okay for me. Full Review

This movie was totally irritating, as was the lead actress and her driving teacher. I tried to stay and enjoy it, but could not. I ended up walking... ut. I know everyone else is raving about it, but I guess I didn't get it. I would not recommend spending your hard earned bucks on this one. Full Review

Great acting, I was watching a real slice of life and not a movie...but the story line and plot were lost after the first few minutes, and two hours... is a long time to stay lost. Full Review

My husband and I left feeling very empty after this movie. She seems to be searching for a greater purpose in life, but never seems to find it or... lize she's looking for it. Where does her true happiness come from? Full Review

This is Mike Leigh's funniest film since "Life Is Sweet" (1991). Of course he hasn't ever made a completely funny film, and Happy-Go-Lucky has scenes that are not funny, not at all.Full Review

I thought "Topsy-Turvy" was perfection, a spirited evocation of the partnership of Gilbert and Sullivan, plus a blithely definitive depiction of the artistic process. Happy-Go-Lucky is perfection too, assuming you go along with its leisurely pace, which I did quite happily.Full Review

Wall Street Journal
The London universe Leigh creates (employing his trademark improv techniques to unite his ensemble, many of whom make their film debuts) isn't so much a reality as a hope, and an invitation to find joy and grace in everyday moments.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly
Mr. Leigh has never been an artist for whom happy (word or idea) has been an easy fit. Life is sweet, as the title of another of his films puts it with a heart-swelling yes, but it's also an eternal fight against doom and gloom, the soul-crushing no.Full Review
