I stumbled upon this gem during one of my numerous internet research extravaganzas and boy was I pleased.
Happiness is a dark comedy, and for most it's brutal to sit through, but if you enjoy crude humor this movie is perfect.
The plot is pretty basic, three sisters and their encounters in New Jersey.
When I look at a movie critically, I usually weed out all the propaganda and controversy. I seek for acting talent and creativity. This movie was full of both.
Yes, it is technically a disturbing movie, but I urge you to view it with an open mind. The performances in this film are forever engraved in my mind as spectacular, and it's just down right hilarious (in a very crude way).
Phillip Seymour Hoffman has always been a brilliant actor in my mind, and his role in this film was probably his best. Dylan Baker should have gotten an Oscar nomination, but the Academy Awards are more focused on politics versus talent, in my humble opinion. So screw them.
The magic of this movie is the character interaction and of course it's shocking, but entertaining content.
Disturbing, funny, shocking. It's hard to analyze the entire movie without ruining everything (I'm not a fan of spoilers). Go rent it or whatever and I caution you to not watch it with any person who is easily disturbed or offended.
Enjoy my crappy review :)
