Happiness

About This Movie

So, 'Happiness' from 2016 is quite the rollercoaster. It follows this married couple, Jiang Jun Zhi and Fang Min En, who are navigating their own relationships while keeping a pretty major secret. The whole setup unfolds with a sense of frantic energy, especially when Jiang's dad decides to drop by unexpectedly. The comedy here is refreshing—sort of a blend of awkwardness and genuine emotion. You can feel the tension rise as they scramble to maintain this facade. The performances are solid, capturing that chaotic love-hate dynamic so well. It’s distinctive in how it handles the LGBTQ+ themes without being overly dramatic. The pacing keeps you engaged, and there’s a nice balance of laughs and heartfelt moments, which makes it stand out in the comedy genre.
