Sundance 2010 Preview: HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE

No, I didn’t forget the spaces in the title, it really is called HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE. Dont let the title fool you though, this movie stars Josh Radnor who also directs and the very beautiful Malin Akerman and Kate Mara! I will try to keep my WATCHMEN fanboy excitement at bay when I talk to Malin, but I am not so certain I can do that with my IRON MAN II fanboy excitement with Kate Mara. Even though this is Radnor’s first time as a writer/director I have a lot of faith in this film after reading part of the script and many reviews of it. Should be a solid Sundance hit.

Official Synopsis:

Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who’s having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam’s life revolves around his friends—Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam’s eye.

Written, directed, and starring Josh Radnor (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), happythankyoumoreplease boasts a wryly funny script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast. With honesty and humor, Radnor captures a generational moment—young people on the cusp of truly growing up, struggling for connection, and hoping to define what it means to love and be loved.
