UK (2008): Comedy/Drama

Writer-director Mike Leigh delivers the delightfully fresh and cheerful comedy HAPPY-GO-LUCKY. Free spirited and effervescent, Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is a schoolteacher whose unstoppable optimism guides her life. Bubbling forth with giggles, laughter and jokes, life's a bowl of cherries -- even when she comes across a few pits. Whether it's a cranky driving teacher or a fiery flamenco instructor, Poppy embraces life on the sunny side of the street. It's a joyous, feel-good film you'll find irresistible. -- Amazon.com
