The Landrys gather for the weekend to fix up their family home in Chicago. Graham (Josh Radnor) really wishes his life was in a better place, especially since he's reconnected with his college crush, Dana (Chandra Russell). Sue (Becky Ann Baker) is looking forward to the next chapter in her life when an incident at her retirement party forces her to question things, including her marriage to complacent Roy (John Ashton). Then, Will (Rob Huebel), the television star blows in. What starts out as a benign family get-together ends up spiraling out of control as some shocking news threatens to tear everything apart.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

A slight and likable family dramedy made believable by some very strong lived-in performances.

Chicago Tribune

With actors as good as Becky Ann Baker co-writer and director Haroula Rose’s second feature keeps one foot in easygoing naturalism.

Rated: 2.5/4

Chicago Sun-Times

They all slip comfortably into their roles, they all get their moments to shine, and my biggest complaint about "All Happy Families" is that it leaves us wanting more. There’s so much more we’d like to discover about this unhappy family.

Rated: 3/4

With an eye to behavioural nuance, the film draws strength from its assemblage of closely observed vignettes, wisely resisting the temptation to make statements or wax lyrical about the nature of family life in mid-list suburbia.

Rated: 3/5

About Boulder

It takes skill and intelligence to portray a messy family with precision. That’s what Haroula Rose and her team have done. Not many movies are made anymore like All Happy Families. With a little luck, this gem of a film will change that.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Overall, this film is quite funny, while still grappling with some very serious themes.

The talents of Haroula Rose (Director and Co-writer) and Coburn Goss, Co-writer, bring a strong sense of realism in this family comedic/drama. The excellent acting adds to the credibility of the complex Landry family. This genre of film is lacking in today's marketplace. The risk is the reward for all who venture to take this well done Indie film into their home. Highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
