"Nothing good ever happens" deals with a young man, who after a series of bad events is faced with the decision to make some changes in his life in order to live more happily and reach a state of satisfaction that he's currently missing.
The movie is produced with a lot of love, even though it is easy to tell that it is a low-budget movie from the sometimes bumpy acting. The film deals with the "normal" questions that most people have to face at least once during their lifetime. How to go on after a break-up, how to deal with friends that became strangers and when it is best to give up old anger in order to start into a better future. In general this is achieved with a lot of humor and some wisdom and you could say that it is indeed quite a feel-good movie. The only thing that really bothered me is that I don't find jokes about the shoah acceptable, no matter in which context or from whom.
All in all this is a small film that deals with big questions without carrying a heavy moral. It is carried out with a lot of heart and enthusiasm, which makes up for the sometimes lacking professionality.
