Movie Reviews

Movie Review by TonyD

Score – 3½ out of 4

Mike Leigh’s new film “Happy-Go-Lucky” is a fine example as to why the star-rating system is flawed. When someone uses the star-rating system, they are rating how much they liked or disliked the movie. A reviewer cannot use words to describe their feelings of a film when it comes to the star-rating system. As I was watching “Happy-Go-Lucky,” I couldn’t help but feel that I was missing something that every other reviewer got from it.

The above star-rating of the film is not rating my approval of the film. If I was to give you guys MY rating for the film, it would have been a star less. No, the rating above is me being nice to the film, telling you guys that you should go see it, because in all of the depressing films this year, such as “W.” and “Twilight,” you should go see a film that was hidden behind all others. It’s cheery, but too cheery for me. I’m not sure what everyone else would get from the movie, but that’s why I’m telling you now – just catch it on DVD sometime.
