Happy-Go-Lucky

It is true that we create our own destiny, or at least, the emotions that accompany it. If you have a bright outlook on life, no matter what it throws your way, you'll look at its good side. Take Polly, lose a bike, take up cars... or boats. This is a beautiful simple story about a character and its relations with others, a very happy character indeed. Refreshing and non-formulaic, Sally Hawkins' role is remarkable and well worth noting, as her happiness is contagious. Is this the Holly-Golightly of the 21st century?

This is what I could consider a light-hearted comedy that doesn't resort to silliness and breaks a bit of the structure of your typical three-act, as not much really happens and it is more about character development. This comedy is on par with good dramas, it is cinema evolving at its best, for an on-going good time... Buy it! En-Ra-Ha!
