January 15, 2008Its a funny movie -- a bunch of characters intertwined - gay and straight, honest or not. Perhaps it was too late in the evening when I watched it, but I was having troubles with all the connections even though they do their best to explain them to you.

November 18, 2009A really interesting story and quite a few likable characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lisa Kudrow, Steve Coogan and Jesse Bradford all give really good performances, while some of the other actors seem to go unnoticed. The stories are all pretty interesting and have a very different ...( read more)

November 10, 2009Well acted enough but you end up not caring about anyone or anything in this movie. It seemed longer than a Lord of the Rings directors cut.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Happy Endings, its interwoven stories exploring the consequences of sex and the ramifications of procreation, is mildly thought-provoking without using heavy-handed commentary. full review

Happy Endings maintains a certain level of intrigue, and occasionally bursts into life. full review

Even more irritating than the film's third act triumphs is its lack of faith in moviegoers' intelligence. full review
