Happy-Go-Lucky Reviews

-->
  • Comedy film Happy-Go-Lucky received mostly positive reviews upon its release. Critics praised lead actress Sally Hawkins' performance in their reviews, and noted that even though the film had no plot, it was "purely entertaining."The Hollywood Reporter: Happy-Go-Lucky Review (February 13, 2008) Variety: Happy-Go-Lucky Review (February 12, 2008)

    Ray Bennett of The Hollywood Reporter liked that the film is very much like Hawkins' "smart, confident, goofball" character in the film without becoming "syrupy or sentimental." Variety's Alissa Simon noted in her review that Hawkins took what could have been "a scatty, irritating character," and made her "endearing."The Hollywood Reporter: Happy-Go-Lucky Review (February 13, 2008) Variety: Happy-Go-Lucky Review (February 12, 2008)

    A Sky Movies review criticized the lack of a plot, stating Happy-Go-Lucky "lurched around, grinded gears, and ended up back where it started."Sky Movies: Happy-Go-Lucky Review
