I saw this movie after 'Liberal Arts', which I felt was very real and pleasant. I have previously watched (and later endured) how I met your mother, and Josh Radnor was good as Ted. His character in this movie is somewhat similar, a bit whiny, confused and again real. The movie is exactly what one expects, a feel good comedy drama with reasonable personality and a happy ending. Rest of the actors are great as well and all their stories are well coupled with each other. Although there are not big twists or surprises I was kept interested in all the story lines. I hope Josh Radnor makes more movies like these. Overall I would say it is a decent weekend flick that one can finish off like a good "short story". I have given it 7/10.

"Happythankyoumoreplease" is a weak film from writer-director Josh Radnor. It contains a series of loosely connect short stories, most involving characters or couples struggling to grow up, cast off their cynicism, transcend expectations or muster the courage to wrestle with big life decisions. The film's best moments involve an alopecia patient (and the chubby middle aged man who adores her), and a budding writer who takes a neglected child under his wing. This latter subplot should have been the film's focus – all Rador's other subplots are entirely generic.Like Radnor's subsequent film, the excellent "Liberal Arts", "Happythankyoumoreplease" is obsessed with writers. Here Radnor plays a writer of short stories who is himself trapped in a film comprised of short stories. The film's great metaphor is that all these characters live in self imposed "short stories", stuck in narrow, preconceived boxes which they refuse to let themselves escape. The film then ends with these characters casting off "short stories" (more please!) in favour for "something longer"; they essentially resolve to let novelistic-like complexity into their lives. It's a great metaphor, but Radnor's a novice of a director and can't do much with the idea.7/10 – Worth one viewing.

This movie pulled my heart strings so many times. I cried so much. The characters were very developed and close to my heart. I have already recommended this movie to a couple of my friends. Each love story intertwined with each other and made the story stronger. It was such an inspiring movie, I wanted to do cartwheels around the room it was wonderful... Just, Wonderful. There were even a couple of my personal philosophies in there too. Over all, I really enjoyed it.I'm sorry but there is not much else to write. I can only describe my feelings for this movie in so many words. I really don't understand why I have to have ten lines. This is stupid. But you should watch his movie now!

Happythankyoumoreplease (HTMP) is one of those independent films that you're dying to love. I wanted this movie to be good. I wanted to care about the characters. I wanted to feel like I'd just seen something comparable to Garden State or Beautiful Girls...a well made, well written, character-driven story. But no matter how hard I tried to make this movie good, it just didn't happen. And that's a shame, because there was definitely potential here. And there were even some scenes that worked pretty well...on their own. And therein lies the problem. Even though there were some shining moments, they were tucked into scenes that seemed to be sealed off to themselves. There was little coherency, and that, in part, had much to do with some very poor editing that didn't allow smooth transitioning between scenes. There was also some dialogue here, that was just plain bad. It almost seems as if Josh Radnor, when writing the screenplay, wanted to make sure he gave every character, lead or supporting, enough dialogue so he wouldn't make anyone angry. As a result, much of that dialogue is found within monologues that try their darnedest to sound slick and culturally relevant and cool, but really come off as disingenuous and false. And there was one story line in particular that, not only didn't seem realistic, but was somewhat disturbing. I know when Radnor's character sort of takes Rasheen under his wing, and becomes close to him while taking the boy back to his apartment, the audience was supposed to get that warm, fuzzy feeling inside (as was indicated by the, "Sam...you're my best friend" line). I didn't get that warm and fuzzy feeling inside mainly because I was too preoccupied with how illegal Sam's actions were. Touching as that relationship might have been, it was still kidnapping of a minor. And instead of taking this film down a more realistic avenue with that felonious crime in mind that, no doubt, would have inevitably darkened the film's mood, Radnor completely evades confronting that issue in favor of Sam going to jail in the same way someone driving on a revoked license would. And he gets bailed out? Are you fricking kidding me? This, as others have pointed out, rings the most false out of many unrealistic moments. One last point regarding dialogue, and I don't usually complain about profanity in movies. But when it appears that characters are uttering F-words just for the sake of uttering F-words, it doesn't make a film more slick and edgy. It just makes it seem desperate to want to be taken seriously as a movie for adults. Hopefully what we have here with HTMP, is a first time director/screenwriter who is learning as he goes, and ironing out the kinks. If that is the case, then perhaps it has done some good for Radnor as he sharpens up his skills as a movie maker. If that's not the case here, then Radnor better not quit his day job anytime soon.
