WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

scott-91471 Hector & The Search For Happiness is not a standard comedy or drama. I early found my self laughing but i found myself doing much more then that. This movie is about self discovery of a man who's job is to assist his clients in overcoming the worst in their lives but he is unable to assist because he has never experienced emotions like his clients are dealing with. He heads out on a journey that spans multiple countries and puts him in some of the most amazing locations where he has learned how to feel the basic emotions that so many people feel each day. This movie is one of those movies that allows you to feel all the emotions that the main character feels from sadness, fear to happiness. I would highly recommend watching this movie and maybe you will discover something about yourself.

covercomplexion I felt compelled to review this film because it bothered me quite a bit. Since this tries to be a worldly film, it counts for something to add that I am 29, American and my wife is 28, Korean. Her and I have lived in South Korea for years and between the two of us we've traveled all of NZ, a number of Asian countries and about a quarter of the US. My wife says this movie was cheesy and and not nearly as deep as it's trying to be. I say...Simon did alright: I've laughed at some of his other movies and this is him being a bit more dimensional. I'm fine with the numbered lessons he learns about happiness. I agree with one of the negative reviews that there were really cliché representations of the various countries/ experiences, but it was still entertaining to me.My problems with this film:Too many "happy times" involving alcohol- I'm not some soap box standing straight edge guy, but any mature person can appreciate happiness found without the influence of any drugs. The writer took the easy route to try and get a larger audience I suppose.My biggest problem was the relationship with Clara. Now for the SPOILER part: He has a relationship which is fine in the beginning and he then he has these experiences which show him there's more to the world BUT he decides that she is all he wants so he goes home. And now this makes him a man whereas in the beginning he sees himself as child -lame. So the lesson is if you're a doctor and have a loving relationship, you have a good happy life and need nothing else. What about everyone else? Want a similar but more fulfilling film? watch The secret life of Walter Mitty. It's kind of similar but more entertaining and less painful.

morden-55715 I love a movie that has a clear story and that captures me from the beginning to the end, displaying a whole wide spectrum of human emotions and reactions in different situations. This one has it all. The story, the actors (chemistry between them is great), the locations... a beautiful work of art. I was captured by the frankness of emotion displayed, by Simon Pegg's goofy way of acting and interacting with his colleagues. The atmosphere of this movie is something to be treasured and I am sure that I will watch it again. It certainly gave me a much needed respite from all action-overloaded Hollywood spectacles competing for the throne of: most guys killed, biggest explosion ever seen, most cars destroyed, most expensive actors in the business used. Big thanks to all of you working on this movie.
