Happythankyoumoreplease
Captures a generational moment - young people on the cusp of truly growing up, tiring of their reflexive cynicism, each in their own ways struggling to connect and define what it means to love and be loved. Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends — Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

Best movie of this year hands down!
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie was released in 2010. I have no idea where it has been hiding or why I have never heard of it. (All Huge Libraries like Netflics and VOD-Thank You) Anyway, there is a lot of out loud laughter and snickering caused by this movie. If I didn't know better I would think it was a "hall mark" except for the off-color words that get thrown around. (This is not a complaint) You can get yourself a bit dizzy over the character's interactions with each other. Since we are now old and not of the Saturday evening movie "Cuddling Group" anymore we discussed a lot of what was going on and made ourselves laugh even more. I really liked Malin Akerman, her happy attitude and outward effervesces was a real centered throughout the movie. Michael Algier's dead pan looks and is straight answers what he was asked made for humor and some very sad instances. Josh Radnor was the center of this movie. He was kind'a of a civilian "Sad Sack". Zoe Kazan and Kate Mara were, well I'd chase both through the streets of NYC. These Actors were spot on with their emotions and reactions to everything. There are no spoilers in this review because you really need to watch HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE. and get your own opinions. I hope everyone takes the time to enjoy this movie.
Sam Wexler (Josh Radnor) is a story writer living in NYC. One day on the subway, he finds little Rasheen who lost his foster mom. He's not eager to go back and Sam is in a rush to a job interview. Then he takes him to his friend Annie (Malin Akerman)'s party. Annie is suffering from alopecia and hounded by an annoying co-worker Sam #2 (Tony Hale). Her sometimes mantra is "Thank You! More Please." Friend Mary Catherine (Zoe Kazan) is also at the party whose boyfriend Charlie (Pablo Schreiber) wants to move to L.A. for a job opportunity but she doesn't. Sam #1 is infatuated with waitress Mississippi (Kate Mara).I want to like this more. The characters are indie-quirky and likable enough. However, a couple of little things keep bothering me about this movie. First the truly minor thing is that the kid should be cuter. Don't get me wrong. The kid is cute but he really should be cuter. Second, I kept thinking that this is kidnapping. The movie would work fine if he just kept the kid overnight. The longer he stayed, the more unreal the movie became. It got to be so ridiculous that the other characters are annoyed at him. Finally, the characters need more connections. They don't work together and they aren't roommates. The stories just feel a little bit separated. It would be better for them to be connected and therefore have more easy meetings together. Overall, there are some funny moments and some nice indie moments. I'm just bothered by the unintentional kidnapping.
It appears that Josh Radnor's hopeless romantic "How I Met Your Mother" character Ted Mosby has rubbed off on his other ambitions. His debut film, "happythankyoumoreplease" is a bit more realistic than the hit sitcom, but both involve a great deal of optimism.Following various relationship dynamics between six connected New Yorkers, Radnor is not-so-subtly inspired by Woody Allen, whom he references in the film quite clearly without naming him directly. To compare Radnor's film with Allen's body of work, however, would very clearly result in one major fundamental difference: Radnor is not pessimistic.Radnor stars as Sam Wexler, a struggling writer (yup) on the precipice of 30 who by chance notices a young boy (Michael Algieri) get separated from what appears to be his family while on the subway. Sam feels inclined to help, but after a certain point (around when he learns the boy is a foster child who clearly didn't like his living situation) realizes he can't shake him off and takes him in. Around this time, a nearby bartender/server (Kate Mara) catches his eye.The film also follows Sam's closest friend, Annie (Malin Akerman), a woman with alopecia struggling to find love, as well as his cousin Mary Catherine (Zoe Kazan) and her boyfriend Charlie (Pablo Schreiber), who confront the possibility of uprooting their lives and moving to Los Angeles.The characters' problems are very realistic, though not necessarily interesting. Sam's relationship with the boy, Rasheen, has the most potential because Rasheen is not the typical surprisingly mature wise- alec kid we're normally treated to in adult films involving unlikely friendships between a child and adult. But Radnor is also interested in the other relationship dynamics in his script, so that one story doesn't get quite the attention it might have ideally received.Radnor's writing is very conscious of cliché, a necessity given the stories--especially the romances--have a natural trajectory toward predictable. And even though there's little reason given as to why Mara's Mississippi is interested in Sam, Radnor makes their exchanges too cute for their entire subplot to turn sour. The implication is these are two troubled young people looking for love, willing to go out on a limb to find it. That is just one of the many really sweet notions Radnor wishes to convey through this film."Happythankyoumoreplease" never delves into especially dramatic territory. The characters hit major bumps and hardships, but more of the sentimental variety, the kind that evoke audience empathy by trying to relate to everyone. Nothing out of the ordinary happens in the movie; Radnor just wants his audience to connect with the problems of the characters and consider the shifts in perspective they experience.It's a pleasant film that really plays it safe, and those movies have their place. People hoping to be stirred by some seriously thought- provoking interpersonal dilemmas will be disappointed, but the title should be a giveaway that this one's an uplifting indie. The characters and their situations feel real, and it's enough to keep the film interesting until it finishes with a soft, moment-of-clarity/all is right in the universe climax.I would definitely keep an eye on Radnor's work going forward. There are far worse labels than an optimistic Woody Allen minus the neuroses.~Steven CThanks for reading! You can read more at moviemusereviews.com
First I want to say that I loved this movie! The actors were amazing and the script was to! My compliments to Josh Radnor. At first it did remind me a bid of a Woody Allen movie (im sure i wasn't the only one). But Josh has his own style. The dialogue was great, not to over dramatic and funny in some ways. The characters were people you can really relate to and they are understandable. The story itself wasn't really the most original one I've every heard but the way it was written was good. It never gets boring and when you're watching the movie you really want to know happens next to the characters. Each character gets enough time on screen so you get to 'know' and understand them. I would recommend this movie to everybody, it's fun and again, the actors (especially Josh Radnor) are amazing.
