Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful movie one of my favorites! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmm, reinforces my belief in what makes me happy! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly boring film about happiness. I've read a lot of the research the film is based on, yet the tone of the movie was so dry and boring it was hard to watch. At the end of the movie I felt less happy than when I started. Lol. I'm glad I saw it with my girlfriend who was equally eager to watch the film. We both had the same reaction. Where was the fun? The Okinawa segment and the Bayou segment were the highlights of the movie for us. Both joyous groups of people. Wish the movie was more like they were.
