Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Isaac George Most of us can recognize the face of Josh Radnor, more noticeably as Ted Mosby from the hit TV show, How I Met Your Mother. With Happythankyoumoreplease, not only is he the film's main protagonist, he's also the writer-director. Props to that. In his debut, a simple New York comedy, he proves he can keep an audience entertained with some exceptions.A major exception being two thirds of the story. Why? Because the film is really a collection of three stories; one main and two semi-bogus shorties. The main involves Sam (Josh Radnor), a struggling writer in the city of New York who stumbles upon a ten or so year old boy at the subway who's in foster-care. This sets up a nice Paper Moon/Kramer vs Kramer bonding situation. Amongst this he's in between love and friendship. Now to the semi-bogus shorties featuring Sam's cousin (Zoe Kazan) coping with her boyfriend as he returns from LA and the other centering on Sam's best friend (Malin Akerman) doing whatever she does. In this case, bouncing between work, alcohol, lovers and friends. What works is Sam's story - that's the film's entertainment. Because it's a proper and genuine rendition of the type of story we've seen so many times before it keeps the customers satisfied. This doesn't work with the two shorties. They play out like the one forgettable story in a good collection of short stories, multiplied by two. They're tiresome to say the most. It just keeps the audience waiting harshly until Josh Radnor turns up with the kid.This reason sustains the movement of the film as well do the supporting cast. Kate Mara is wickedly charming and seductive as Sam's love interest; Josh Radnor is Ted Mosby without the stupid antics; and Zoe Kazan steals the show with a lovely performance besides the unclever fable. These three as well as young newcomer, Michael Algieri, keep the film intact.Yet what the film suffers from is sustainability. Seeing one third of the film being the most humorous and pleasing, the rest of the film lack inspiration and venture. However, Josh Radnor will without a doubt entertain and engage audiences with his directorial debut, and why not. It's a good splice of New York life.

tieman64 "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.

Enchorde Happythankyoumoreplease is a movie that, besides having a really intriguing name, is a real feel good movie. A couple of friends in New York struggle with their different relationships, trying to make sense and headway in their lives. In their struggles they find love and friendship where they least expect it. The movie builds on a quite a few clichés and is predictable, but that is not a real problem as the movie is more about emotion than suspense over what's going to happen. And, despite the characters having some troubles, the emotion is good throughout it all. It is a movie that you feel really good after watching, and not really remembering what happened. A note though, I wouldn't categorize it as a comedy. It is not funny in that sense. It is just a feel good romantic drama.I had two problems with the movie, none of which really is the movies problem. Both Sams, Josh Radnor and Tony Hale is for me connected with characters in TV-series (Radnor in How I met your mother and Hale in Chuck). I had a little problem to see them not behaving as they should…Other than that, it is a real good movie for a rainy evening.

johndeckbose I watched this stunningly empty piece of vanity celluloid from Josh Radnor, one of the How I Met Your Mother guys. I guess he had so much money on his hands that he thought he might as well follow his ambition to be a filmmaker. I can only hope he got it out of his system.I keep imagining Radnor watching Garden State, thinking, "I can do that!" No, apparently you can't.Y'know, I chuckle when people on IMDb use superlatives to describe every pedestrian film that comes down the pike, but this is one time it may indeed be appropriate. Happythankyoumoreplease may be the worst movie I've ever seen. It is scary bad. It is offensively bad. It is a lot of young beautiful people trying to act as though their lives have meaning and import, but not one of them has experienced a genuine challenge yet in life. Neither as characters, nor, judging from the insufferable pettiness of the performances, as actual human beings. I don't wish evil or hardship to befall them, except to say, it would make them far more believable and substantive as artists. I'm just sorry Pablo Schreiber and Kate Mara got mixed up in this mess.
