Review of Happythankyoumoreplease (2011) by Marielle M — 07 Mar 2011

I may have given a little too high a rating. The story line isn't anything special or completely original, but I find both the acting and the directing superbly done. Josh Radnor plays an extremely likable struggling writer (though his character's personality, aside from his position on serious relationships, reminds me of his How I Met Your Mother character) and Michael Algieri plays a very believable orphaned child who doesn't overact the part with tears but instead shows his desensitized nature to all things that don't go his way.

Tony Hale as cliched nice guy Sam #2 does strike an emotional chord with the audience as being the charming, albeit not the best looking character, who has nothing but love to give the sick Malin Akerman is more than welcome in this movie that observes the everyday human condition of physical rather than emotional connection.

The camera work keeps the audience interested more than anything, it has its shakes and its tripods when it needs... Over all a likable film, far from a classic though.
