I put off watching this for quite some time because it looked interesting but weird. Now that I've watched it, it's interesting but weird. It's a web of life story that, at its core is similar to Crash, yet nothing like that movie. I loved the artwork. The apartment where the majority of the movie takes place is amazing. I'd love to live there! It makes the movie more visually interesting since, as I've said, most of it takes place in that space. You get the impression that Woody, the protagonist, is tied to the place by his obligations. Anyway, the story is heartwarming. For me, it was a slow start, got good around the middle, and was a bit anticlimactic in the end. But, it holds a good message and that's what makes it touching.

Several unrelated(?) stories? Not as painful an exchange to watch as I'd expect. It is actually charming-ish.Quirky collection of characters with interesting walls and antique phones.Someone's a literary fan... a trifle inconvenient.No. 2 again? Monet books about.This must be what you call eccentric.This is a very unusual and creative story.Ooh... I see the circle in coming together.Quite a few Starbucks cups.Happiness AZ? Is that a desert joke?

It was a strangle inventive ride, and at the end I was moved and felt like I learned something.Welcome to Happiness is about a children's book writer who lives in an interesting apartment. Once in a while, his 1990s printer would go off and a stranger would knock on his door. He would ask the strangers three questions from the printout and if they answered correctly he would lead them to happiness, which the door to happens to be in his bedroom closet, but after 5 years when this guy discovers that happiness is a place in which you can change the one big regret in your life, he becomes disgruntled with the fact that he wasn't given the opportunity to change his one regret.The movie puts me on a very emotional ride. I relate to the lead character Woody, played by Kyle Gallner. It was a great experience. Kinda like the Matrix, but more down to Earth without the Sci-fi and the Kung fu. It's not a coincidence that Woody is a Children's book Arthur as the movie dishes out the life lesson it that same poise, only it's for adults. It was a brilliant narrative from beginning to end. The first act I was digging but then it got to a point where I did not like the message the movie was generating, then kaboom! The whole thing was laid out in front of me and I felt it. I can't remember when the last time a movie blew my mind like that.Plus Keegan-Michael Key is so amusing in his role. This guy is just so entertaining without even trying.Recommend trying this movie out. I'm not really the type to be enlighten, but It did spark something in me.

So many of life's lessons can be attributed to children's literature. Authors from Dr. Seuss to Shel Silverstein shaped the way young minds perceived the world and prepared them for what lie ahead. Welcome To Happiness, the debut film from writer/director Oliver Thompson, spins a fanatical tale in a similar vein. Aimed at the grown-ups we've ripened into, this clever comedy draws upon the "whys" we inevitably ask ourselves as we press on through to adulthood.Dropping the viewer directly into the world he built, Thomson keeps a close rein on the goings on and rules set forth by his script, only answering so much before adding on more mysteries. The opening scene sets the tone of the film, quirky and playful yet not lacking real raw emotion...
