There is no reason for watching this film

Welcome to Happiness (2015)

Written & directed by Oliver Thompson this film stars Kyle Gallner, Olivia Thirlby, Nick Offerman and Keegan-Michael Key. A children's author lives in an apartment with a magic door in it that strangers go through for a second chance.

Taking a heavy handed religious allegory this film attempts to hammer home the disappointingly weak message that “everything happens for a reason”, even terrible things. I found the plot pretty weak and it's off beat tone just a poor attempt at a Wes Anderson style. The cast do the best they can but this is not an impressive film.


2/5
