Make Me Happy: A Monkey's Search for Happiness

About This Movie

So, 'Make Me Happy: A Monkey's Search for Happiness' is an interesting blend of comedy and documentary. Nina Conti, the ventriloquist, takes us on a quirky journey through the world of alternative therapies. The tone is light yet introspective, which is really nice. Her puppet, Monkey, adds this layer of skepticism that keeps things grounded and often humorous. The pacing ebbs and flows nicely; you never feel like you're stuck in one type of therapy for too long. From naked yoga to primal screams, the variety of experiences is pretty wild. What sets it apart is how it manages to tackle serious themes like self-exploration without losing that comedic edge. Plus, Nina's performances, both live and with Monkey, are genuinely engaging.
