The movie had a short and simple storyline with some easy predictability as per the romantic comedy genre. It does briefly the explore the pleasures of sex and adultery, however, it is missing some real in-depth character building to capture the audience's attention. It is a fine film, yet nothing special.

This was easily one of the worst movies I have seen in the past few years. I have no idea what any reviewer would see positive in this.

But given the failures of character development, in the end, the threesome premise feels just like a cheap gimmick rather than a meaningful exploration of sex, boundaries, communication, and pleasure.

Common Sense Media

A movie about a childish woman who can't speak her mind and ends up hurting the person she may or may not even love is, ironically, unsatisfying itself.

Rated: 2/5

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

Middling sex scenes, desultory arguments, and “real” and “fake” orgasm faces...to anyone of voting age, “Happy Ending” is too unsurprising to be happy, too perfunctorily plotted to supply an ending that will satisfy anybody.

Rated: 1.5/4

Decider

The screenplay’s need for another draft or three is Happy Ending’s biggest issue. Otherwise, it’s a nicely shot film, naturalistic where similar American films are glossy and artificial, and the cast is game.
