Lack of good storyline.

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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 movie pulled my heart strings so many times. I cried so much. The characters were very developed and close to my heart. I have already recommended this movie to a couple of my friends. Each love story intertwined with each other and made the story stronger. It was such an inspiring movie, I wanted to do cartwheels around the room it was wonderful... Just, Wonderful. There were even a couple of my personal philosophies in there too. Over all, I really enjoyed it.I'm sorry but there is not much else to write. I can only describe my feelings for this movie in so many words. I really don't understand why I have to have ten lines. This is stupid. But you should watch his movie now!

I watched this movie without knowing that Josh Radnor was involved in the direction and the script.Josh's character is a writer that has had a moderate success with short novels but struggle to write longer stories. This courageous auto-critic of the author is a warning about what is about to follow.This film is constructed with 3 parallel stories with little to tie them together. There is a friendship between the characters but it feels like a glue more than something that helps to develop the plot. Then there is about 6 irritating music montage that try to smooth the angles between scenes. It feels more like the writer struggled to put the story together so he filled it up with some cool music and images.As much as I wanted to care about the characters, I couldn't do it because they keep doing stupid choice about their life: Rosh should just go prison for abducting a child. The bald girl shouldn't hook up with stupid ex or go out with the obsessive stalker (the movie ends before she get sacrificed in a weird satanic ritual) and the couple should just break up because they are annoying.On the positive side, there is a few good shots, a few interesting dialogs. But it will not save you from boredom.

Happythankyoumoreplease (HTMP) is one of those independent films that you're dying to love. I wanted this movie to be good. I wanted to care about the characters. I wanted to feel like I'd just seen something comparable to Garden State or Beautiful Girls...a well made, well written, character-driven story. But no matter how hard I tried to make this movie good, it just didn't happen. And that's a shame, because there was definitely potential here. And there were even some scenes that worked pretty well...on their own. And therein lies the problem. Even though there were some shining moments, they were tucked into scenes that seemed to be sealed off to themselves. There was little coherency, and that, in part, had much to do with some very poor editing that didn't allow smooth transitioning between scenes. There was also some dialogue here, that was just plain bad. It almost seems as if Josh Radnor, when writing the screenplay, wanted to make sure he gave every character, lead or supporting, enough dialogue so he wouldn't make anyone angry. As a result, much of that dialogue is found within monologues that try their darnedest to sound slick and culturally relevant and cool, but really come off as disingenuous and false. And there was one story line in particular that, not only didn't seem realistic, but was somewhat disturbing. I know when Radnor's character sort of takes Rasheen under his wing, and becomes close to him while taking the boy back to his apartment, the audience was supposed to get that warm, fuzzy feeling inside (as was indicated by the, "Sam...you're my best friend" line). I didn't get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside mainly because I was too preoccupied with how illegal Sam's actions were. Touching as that relationship might have been, it was still kidnapping of a minor. And instead of taking this film down a more realistic avenue with that felonious crime in mind that, no doubt, would have inevitably darkened the film's mood, Radnor completely evades confronting that issue in favor of Sam going to jail in the same way someone driving on a revoked license would. And he gets bailed out? Are you fricking kidding me? This, as others have pointed out, rings the most false out of many unrealistic moments. One last point regarding dialogue, and I don't usually complain about profanity in movies. But when it appears that characters are uttering F-words just for the sake of uttering F-words, it doesn't make a film more slick and edgy. It just makes it seem desperate to want to be taken seriously as a movie for adults. Hopefully what we have here with HTMP, is a first time director/screenwriter who is learning as he goes, and ironing out the kinks. If that is the case, then perhaps it has done some good for Radnor as he sharpens up his skills as a movie maker. If that's not the case here, then Radnor better not quit his day job anytime soon.

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.
