Review of Happiness

Happiness (1998)
10/10
Nothing is as it seems.

Oh man, this movie is super if you're old enough to understand the quirky, absurdist approach. If you don't dig that, skip the movie.

For those who don't want to skip, well, the movie is, again, a revenge of the nerds a la Solondz. It all seems like one of three sisters, Joy, is a loser. Even the most obnoxious of men take advantage of her, she gets abused by everyone she tries to be nice to, her "successful" sisters are shooting poisonous darts into her oh-my-gosh-thirty-and-unmarried heart, and so on and so forth. She's sad, but she's still nice to everyone, and she does learn one thing or two along the way. Sisters look plain evil ...Until we get some hilarious/disturbing insight into the perversity of people that surround THEM.

The actors are WONDERFUL.
