I Wanna Be Happy

About This Movie

I Wanna Be Happy is an intriguing mix of comedy, crime, and drama. Picture this: a hitman who's at the end of his rope, and then there's this director whose career is in shambles, both on a quest for a tree that’s said to grant wishes. The tone flits between dark humor and poignant moments, which is a balancing act not many films pull off so well. The pacing is kind of all over the place but in a way that keeps you engaged, almost like the characters themselves who are stuck in their own chaotic journeys. Performances feel raw and genuine, giving life to these flawed characters. And the practical effects used here add a layer of richness, especially in the more surreal sequences. It’s distinctive in how it blends the absurd with the serious, making it a curious watch.
