Another Happy Day isn't the typical comedy film; it is a drama than a comedy, in fact. The screenplay is well-written, as are the character. The directing is really good - the sequence shot in which the camera is following Demi Moore, on the music "Poland" by Oladur Arnalds is gorgeous -, I loved the soundtrack and found the casting to be interesting; the characters are truly believable & relivable. Maybe my love for this film has something to do with the fact that I've got a 'little something' for turning-bad-family-gathering film. Obviously, this film is a controversial one and I can see why. This definitely will not be the cup of tea of everyone but it worth to be seen. Sam Levinson gives us an excellent first dark-humoured effective film.

Definitely worth seeing. Watched it tonight, bottle of wine, low expectations, as I hadn't heard of the film at all....full of great acting, good script, believable characters, some fine comedic moments and very touching at times. Mind you, with Ellens Barkin and Burstyn in it, it must have something going for it, don't you think? Both wonderful, and also great to see George Kennedy, too. The young actor playing Elliot is definitely one to watch, too. I can't believe that this film is rated a 5 out of 10, given some of the garbage I've seen lately. Watch this - you wont be disappointed. I hope. Some comments say the characters aren't believable. I beg to differ.

There are movies to love, movies to like, movies to tolerate, movies to sleep through, and movies that are vile. This monstrosity fills the last category admirably. It seems to concern upper class people residing in an estate located in one of the most expensive areas in the United States. Everyone is well clothed, well dressed, well fed and well educated. They now spend their time solipsistic-ally (Mr. Levinson chose this word in his script signaling to the audience he wished to reach) indulging themselves in self loathing ego-centrism. I enjoy the comments of the other critics of this odium - 'oh, this is a controversial film , not everyone's cup of idea, but I ENJOYED IT (like those people who love squid boiled in their own black effluvium).
