Happy Go Lucky

Finally a very cute, very funny, British romantic comedy without Renée Zellweger or Hugh Grant. This is a cute, funny, smart story. There is a bit of all of us in one, if not many, of the characters. In which one do you see yourself?

This is partly a story about caring - about something; anything. A life without passion is a sad thing. This is but one of the messages. A life lived WITH passion has some meaning.

Sally Hawkins won a ton of awards for her role here as a North London school teacher who takes nothing seriously but her job and her search for a boyfriend. This slice from her life is delightful. If this story does not make you smile, I suggest you get over yourself.

Her supporting cast is excellent. Special kudos must go to Eddy Marsan for some amazing character creation. I can't think of a less pleasant person to take any lessons from, let alone driving lessons. Well done Mr. Marsan.

Watch this movie with someone who has little or no sense of propriety.
