Wes (Michael Traynor) is about to turn 30, and his live-in girlfriend, Sophie (Kellee Stewart), decides that a surprise birthday party is in order. Once the big day arrives, Wes would rather fool around with Sophie than entertain guests, but he politely goes along with the big party as their friends arrive, including tightly wound architect Lenny (Tif Luckenbill); his nervous girlfriend, Allie (Amy Redford); self-styled ladies' man Dylan (David Robinette); and his latest girlfriend, Naima (Marjan Neshat), an Iranian whom he recently met on a train and who doesn't happen to speak English. After a few cocktails, conversation between the guests becomes looser, until some secrets are unexpectedly revealed and tempers between the friends begin to fray. Cry Funny Happy was the first directorial effort from Sam Neave, who was previously best known for his work as an editor. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Norm Schrager, Filmcritic.com
With a tighter focus (both literally and figuratively), Sam Neave may become quite polished at telling this type of messy, personal story.

Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
An enjoyable film with modest ambitions and equally modest success.
