Title should have been "Happy Go Looney". Poppy is nothing but ANNOYING!!
by vegan19572008-12-25

"Dear Readers, please see the movie before voting whether or not a review is helpful. "Happy-Go-Lucky" (HGL) is being marketed as a lively comedy, in the vain of "Amelie," which is a far superior film that should be rented instead of seeing HGL (a search for Amelie at IMDb will bring up a review). HGL made me and my fiancée sad and annoyed that we had wasted two hours of our lives watching this dreck. HGL is a film about several sad and miserable people and an annoying, overly-optimistic Poppy who sees the world though rose-colored-glasses no matter the problem or danger. ..."
