Nothing Says I love you like blackmail

Happy Endings - I had not heard of this movie but I had seen the DVD box. A stellar cast - Lisa Kudrow, Tom Armold, Jason Ritter, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jesse Bradford, Laura Dern and a few others whose names I don't know but recognize from other films. The style of the movie is a documentary - but still unfolds like a normal film. There are several threads that run through the movie and eventually the threads fold in on each other and we see how all the stories relate.

There is Lisa Kudrow's character (Mamie) who at 17 gives up a baby for adoption a decision that haunts her years later. There is her step brother who is gay and convinced that his lover is the father of their friends two year old child. There is Otis (Jason Ritter) who is a musician with a rich father who is denying his sexuality. This movie is pretty funny, heart warming, and overall an enjoyable film. There are a few twists and turns, that make it fun. Plus there are several types of films I enjoy one being films that take place during the course of one day and another type of film I enjoy is one where they tell you what happens to each of the characters in the end. This one does and helps close up loose ends. So go rent.
