Cry Funny Happy

this was a poignant film dealing with interpersonal relationships. it had great characters, superb acting and an intelligent script. it got to the heart of the intimacy (or lack there of) between people as they navigate relationships with friends and lovers. The independence of the film allowed it to be truly multicultural. it was truly a rare occasion to see a movie and have characters of all backgrounds fully integrated (not assimilated, there is a big difference). They were also included without the stereotypical b.s. most filmmakers include. Which normally depicts characters of color generally and superficially.

Great Character Study!!! Good Acting!!! Even better writing!!!!

I like indie movies, but this one was another of the kind that damages crossover appeal for this type of film. 2 hours of a party filled with people you wouldn't want to hang out with for ten minutes.

Skip this one.

Yuck. This film was a waste of time. The premise isn't so bad with a lot of old friends getting together at a party. The results are they just all start fighting and screaming at each other for at least the last half of the movie. I understand it was low budget and all but there was a point where you could see the camera guy reflected in a picture on the wall. Way to take away any inkling that this could really happen! Spare yourself!

I took today off, and I don't feel like watching soaps, so I have the Sundance Channel on right now. What a mistake!

This movie irritated me from the minute I turned it on. Yet, as the exercise in scatalogical drivel continued, I was transfixed. How could something this pseudo-pretentious get funded? I have to find out.

Pretentious is not even the appropriate descriptor. For havens sake, with lines like "I have changed, and I thought you had changed", the script should have been burned.

The only character I vaguely liked was Naima, and only because she doesn't speak English---or so we think. The minute she spoke about Reza, the last tiny shred of dignisty in this film evaporated.

I should sue the Sundance Channel for this tripe. An hour and a half of my life that I will never get back again.

talk, talk, talk, conflict,, more conflict, resolution with everyone full of impossible insight how many movies like this have been made? ah well... a good way for actors to learn to emote and a harmless waste of a few thousand dollars. No more painful than any of the thousand forgettable others. Has a nice, natural look,solid direction. No stand-outs among the ensemble but nothing made me cringe, either The dialogue was also very realistic so it seems Sam Neave the writer/director/ editor has loads of talent, just didn't have much of a story to wield it on.

He also had the luck or the smarts to have Daddy Redford's little girl Amy as one of his stars. Can't hurt the funding. She did a fine job, BTW.
