Review

Happy Endings is a collection of interwoven tales about several people in L.A. struggling with theirs pasts and trying to find some sort of contentment in life.

The acting is solid, and the characters are believable. The strongest element of this film, however, is the writing. The script is spectacular. The dialog is funny, witty, and real. The story is very complicated, but in the end, it all makes perfect sense.

This is an artsy film, and it moves a little slowly in parts, but the dialog alone makes the film worth seeing.

Rating (1-10)

8
