Review of Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) by Linl. — 04 Jan 2009
This is one of those odd movies you might find yourself liking better a couple of days later than you did while watching it. (While watching it, you sometimes want to wring Poppy's scrawny little neck.
) Later, you recall Poppy's verve and loyalty and determination to persevere in a crappy world, and you really wish her the best. At times, the actors' improvising is all too obvious, as when the misanthropic driving instructor's rants go on and on and on.
Great acting by Hawkins, so different from our glam and airbrushed U.S. starlets.
