movie review: Happy ThankYouMorePlease.

Cast:Malin Akerman, Josh Radnor, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Pablo Schreiber, Tony Hale



Director:Josh Radnor



The title "Happy ThankYouMorePlease" is a lil annoying but the film isn't. You might actually want more when the film reaches its end.




The film is about a 20-something writer, Radnor who lives a bachelor life & meets a lil black boy, Rasheen who is seperated from his family since six years on a subway while going for work. Radnor adopts Rasheen illegally. Malin Akerman, plays Radnor's hairless (due to a condition) friend. Kate Mara plays Radnor's love interest. Kate is an aspiring singer & waitress. Tony Hale plays Malin's over-friendly friend at workplace.




A beautiful man-child relationship is shown between Radnor. Radnor tries several times to give away the child to police or the child-service but the boy refuses to leave him. Eventually the boy blends into his lyf. Whilst leaving with him Radnor discovers that the Rasheen has immense talent with a pencil & a paper & so, encourages him.




The title is well explained by Malin in a scene with Tony where she states that she usually says "more please" with a "thank-you" cuz thanking somebody is done when something good has happened with you & she'd lyk more such opportunities.




A brilliant cast to go with a good story.





Moral f the story: Adulthood is not about waiting for the right answers to get the life you want, but simply stumbling ahead and figuring them out in the process.
