A Major Disappointment

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a really bad film. I'm forced to say more because there is a minimum of ten lines in order to have my comment posted, and this movie was so bad I feel an obligation to warn the general public. It was screened at Sundance (?) and then later on Channel 13 (???) where I saw it. It is incredibly heavy handed with a topic (?) that doesn't stand up under such weight; the melodrama the characters infused into everyday situations felt much less like an interesting commentary on how the general "we" conduct our lives and much more like overwrought / indulgent whining. There was a small bit of decent acting, but it was ruined by all of the hissy fits and at times atrociously lame writing. This is one party that promises (SUNDANCE? PBS???) a lot more than it delivers.

Cry Funny Happy is a film that demonstrates how an unknown director and group of actors with little more than desire can create a powerful and compelling story. The cast has magnetic chemistry that draws you deeper into this story of a circle of friends in the grips of personal crisis. The movement in Independent film production has given opportunities to talented casts and crews to demonstrate what is possible without the studio system. CFH is a obvious winner and has a cast,director, and visual style that will stay with you long after the film ends.I have watched this film several times with different groups of friends. I'm amused how everyone has a fairly extreme point of view and seems best reviewed by people under 30 who still fight to understand their identity and personal journey.

Yuck. This film was a waste of time. The premise isn't so bad with a lot of old friends getting together at a party. The results are they just all start fighting and screaming at each other for at least the last half of the movie. I understand it was low budget and all but there was a point where you could see the camera guy reflected in a picture on the wall. Way to take away any inkling that this could really happen! Spare yourself!

I took today off, and I don't feel like watching soaps, so I have the Sundance Channel on right now. What a mistake!This movie irritated me from the minute I turned it on. Yet, as the exercise in scatalogical drivel continued, I was transfixed. How could something this pseudo-pretentious get funded? I have to find out.Pretentious is not even the appropriate descriptor. For havens sake, with lines like "I have changed, and I thought you had changed", the script should have been burned.The only character I vaguely liked was Naima, and only because she doesn't speak English---or so we think. The minute she spoke about Reza, the last tiny shred of dignisty in this film evaporated.I should sue the Sundance Channel for this tripe. An hour and a half of my life that I will never get back again.
