My Response: Happy-Go-Lucky is one film that is entirely summed up by it's title, and that's not a bad thing. I dare anyone to watch this film and not leave smiling. Actually, trying to NOT enjoy it would go against everything it is about, so scrap that! :) This is the ultimate feel good movie, and not in any sappy, cheesy way. Think Amelie, but in English! It's only in limited release (which only seems to happen to good movies), and if it comes to your town, count your blessings and go check it out with a smile.
