HAPPY GO LUCKY TRAILER - in cinemas 18 April

Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is an irrepressibly cheerful primary school teacher who won't let anyone or anything get her down. Even when her bicycle, which she so happily rides through the busy streets of London is stolen, her first thought is only: "I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye."




Living with her flatmate Zoe (Alexis Zegerman), Poppy has a gift for making the most of life. Determined to learn to drive, she finds herself matched with Scott (Eddie Marsan), an uptight driving instructor who is everything she is not.




From Director Mike Leigh (Vera Drake) HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is a laugh-out-loud comedy about having fun, looking for love and getting on with life.

Thumbs up if you think this is one of the most underrated films of all time! :D

[MeetTheCryptid]

I paint monsters for a living, write stories about distant galaxies and I own a large beard. Honestly this is my favourite film.

@VincentBrooke1 How's it underrated? It received EXTREMELY positive reviews, dumbass.

I agree with the driving instructor. I don't think there is a day that goes past that i don't think about stealing a Ferrari and driving it into the horizon, or a brick wall. Yeah life, it really sticks the knife in and breaks it off. Good movie though.

@VincentBrooke1 Yeah, I can appreciate that. Agree to disagree.

[VincentBrooke1]

@myfacesp Not really; her hightened happiness is juxtaposed with the dull normality around her, which is what makes the situation funny, her annoying, and sometimes the atmosphere tense. But anyway, I think it did have a plot: her attempts to seduce and also to help the instructor predominantly, but largly it's an observation of her happy life; her casual polygamy and bisexuality, her play at school (not without its sadness), her enjoyment of her own silliness. I like it. But to each his own. :)

@VincentBrooke1 haha, I think that's a legitimate reason not to like the movie, but yeah, specifically, there was no plot, which I think can still make a good movie, if it is done correctly, it was just done so poorly. The stories were so boring and the characters were uninteresting.

[VincentBrooke1]

@myfacesp Never mind, no such thing as a universal positive. Was there anything specifically you didn't like about it? Or was it just, 'I didn't like Poppy, she was annoying, blah blah...'?
