  The one thing hard to believe about this movie is that Demi Moore even accepted her role. Family Drama about a dad who has reached the age o really needing nursing care. So Sorry 1 Star is all I'll throw out there.

  Cast: Parker Posey, Demi Moore, Rip Torn, Ellen Barkin, Christian Camargo, Billy Magnussen, Sebastian Roche, Victor Slezak, T. Ryder Smith, Richard Barlow, Tom McNutt Director: Mitchell Lichtenstein Summary: Jayne (Parker Posey) and Laura (Demi Moore) return to their childhood home in Pittsburgh to look after their father, Joe (Rip Torn), a lively widower who may be slipping into dementia. The sisters are soon at odds over their father's care -- and over old family dramas. As Joe's condition deteriorates, they are forced to confront myriad unpleasant memories. My Thoughts: "I really wanted to love this movie considering its cast, but a was just OK for me. Nothing really great happening in this film. The acting is all good, but the script is a bit of a mess. No character was sympathetic or likable. Parker Posey goes off into dreamland throughout the movie, and it was just boring and pointless for me. It was just a film that missed its beat."

  There was potential here for greatness, but ultimatley the film is just too convoluted to be effective. While there are many interesting / creative ideas floating around here, most of them are never fully developed. Meanwhile all of the mediocre ones are fully fleshed out, for a painfully trite effect. Not even my darling Parker Posey can save this one. Honerable mention goes to Ellen Barkin for an impressive (nearly unrecognizable) performance as Dad's "lady friend" Shelly the nurse/crack whore. It really bumms me out when a film full of people who I like, is so mediocre .

  The film was so so. I felt like I have seen this type of movie before. It reminded me of movies like Marvin's Room and In Her Shoes, except those films were better than this one. The tone and the pacing was off. Parker Posey is great in the film. She and Demi Moore are great as… More
  The film was so so. I felt like I have seen this type of movie before. It reminded me of movies like Marvin's Room and In Her Shoes, except those films were better than this one. The tone and the pacing was off. Parker Posey is great in the film. She and Demi Moore are great as sisters in the film. Rip Torn seemed miscast as their father. The film is worth seeing for Posey and Moore's performances.

  Happy Tears, starring Parker Posley and Demi Moore was an independent, simple, drama of a dysfunctional family.Two sisters moved back home to take care of their sick father. Both of them have their own problems on top of dealing with their father who was in denial of his situation. I have seen many movies dealing with this type of story, and every time they just try to do something better or at least different. But this one just turned me off.The way they showed imaginary dreams mixed with reality just turned the movie to be very weird and made it hard for me to get into it.The title was related to the laughs and tears that were shown but there was no laughter. The characters were well written, but still could not drawn me into them and made me feel just uncomfortable.

  There were things to like about this movie but it was messy. Posey and Moore had an interesting relationship and were the only reason I was into it at all. The story was okay but the way it was carried out was sloppy and not well thought out.

  I love Parker Posey, I love her to death, but she plays such a naive, stupid and unbelieveable character in here, so pathetic, that it made everything completely unbeareable for me - not to mention that there's hardly anything else surrounding her; he movie tries to be quirky and… More
  I love Parker Posey, I love her to death, but she plays such a naive, stupid and unbelieveable character in here, so pathetic, that it made everything completely unbeareable for me - not to mention that there's hardly anything else surrounding her; he movie tries to be quirky and funny, but it fails on both aspects. A complete misfire.
