Happiness Is is an intriguing exploration of midlife awakening wrapped in a comedy-drama romance. The film’s tone is light yet carries a weighty undertone as Princess grapples with her life choices amidst a chaotic birthday party thrown by her best friend. The pacing is a bit uneven, sometimes meandering through humorous quips and heartfelt moments, which adds to the relatability. The performances are genuinely affecting, particularly the nuances in Princess' character as she navigates her newfound reality.
