  • This is way better than the rest of the stuff I see on YouTube. Who did this? Because it's unfair if this is a major director. This looks professional. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter. The point is, is it good? And this is better than good. Nice work.

  • I don't get it, Brett. I watched the TOP 20, and I don't fucking get it. "MEET HAPPINESS" is brilliant, in comparison. So many priceless lines "...I am not floating a Candian!" Pitch perfect acting. Solid directing.

    If I had to vote between all the "TOP 20" films combined and MEET HAPPINESS, and only my vote counted, Brett Haley would be going to Sundance in January.

  • Yep. I'm real narrow-minded when it comes to self-indulgent, mediocre ideas like this one.

  • It's ironic and weird in a good way. None of the characters have an expected reaction to the situation except for the son, which is a good formula for comedy. One normal person in the midst of a bunch of crazy people in a crazy situation. Like a Chris Durang play or something.

    You fail for being narrow minded and uncreative.

  • wow pretty good

  • Not sure why all the praise for this. So the Mom is marrying a young man...and the ex-husband is OK with it...so what? Why exactly is that idea worthy of 5 minutes of film?

  • Excellent acting!! Very realistic depiction of a very real issue facing many American families today! Would like to see a longer version of this video. I give this 5 stars!

  • didn't see that coming

  • loved the twist, he was well gutted haha

  • Great acting, writing, and pacing. Very well done!

  • The acting was perfect. I loved it.

  • lol nice
