Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent but underrated film

This film came out to me as forced and formulaic. The lessons accumulates a bit too well and quickly to work out except for a couple of them that still sounded real, expecially the bit with the ex-girlfriend. It's strange that a psychiatrist would not know better about happiness, with all the studies about it. This film is more of a mid-life crisis needing a resolve. It's a bit overacted with the actual girlfriend that acts like a little girl but Rosamund is so damn cute and fun. Passable with good bits and not so good bits.

It's like I been through a whole Experience of one's Happiness in the Life. True meaning to be Happy.I just loved the movie...!! You Must Watch it.Now Some of the best Notes from the movie, which I really loved."I'm not afraid. People who are afraid of death are afraid of life.""Everything was up for change. And he loved like he never loved before.""There a big difference between being here, and being here to be photographed being here.""Listening is loving.""Happiness is feeling completely alive.""Happiness is being loved for who you are.""Making comparisons can spoil your happiness."And the Last one I loved"Avoiding unhappiness is *not* the road to happiness."Enjoy Life... Be Happy :)

Well, it certainly is different! But I failed to understand what it's about or even why it was made. So a British shrink wants to get away from everything and travel around the world. "Around The World In 80 Days" was much better story! There are some interesting cinematic tricks here and there. It's interesting to see a few exotic places. But when "The End" comes on screen (and there is a tricky little surprise even there) you wonder about what you've just seen. Was it a comedy? A fantasy? An adventure? A love story? A travelogue? Or most likely, the work of some free spending film people who wanted to have a little fun. The travel budget must have been insane but for what purpose? Despite all this, I still give it a half decent rating because it was refreshing (if puzzling and unrealistic.) Let's just hope nobody involved in this very odd picture actually believed they were writing cinema history. Birth Of A Nation it ain't!

I felt compelled to review this film because it bothered me quite a bit. Since this tries to be a worldly film, it counts for something to add that I am 29, American and my wife is 28, Korean. Her and I have lived in South Korea for years and between the two of us we've traveled all of NZ, a number of Asian countries and about a quarter of the US. My wife says this movie was cheesy and and not nearly as deep as it's trying to be. I say...Simon did alright: I've laughed at some of his other movies and this is him being a bit more dimensional. I'm fine with the numbered lessons he learns about happiness. I agree with one of the negative reviews that there were really cliché representations of the various countries/ experiences, but it was still entertaining to me.My problems with this film:Too many "happy times" involving alcohol- I'm not some soap box standing straight edge guy, but any mature person can appreciate happiness found without the influence of any drugs. The writer took the easy route to try and get a larger audience I suppose.My biggest problem was the relationship with Clara. Now for the SPOILER part: He has a relationship which is fine in the beginning and he then he has these experiences which show him there's more to the world BUT he decides that she is all he wants so he goes home. And now this makes him a man whereas in the beginning he sees himself as child -lame. So the lesson is if you're a doctor and have a loving relationship, you have a good happy life and need nothing else. What about everyone else? Want a similar but more fulfilling film? watch The secret life of Walter Mitty. It's kind of similar but more entertaining and less painful.
