Not Another Happy Ending (2013) Reviews
One of Karen Gillan's best performances.
I think it is a real shame Not Another Happy Ending did not get released in New Zealand and that there are people out there who disliked the film. It is a good film. Okay, it's not a classic, not a great film, but it is still a good film. Karen Gillan is such a brilliant actress. So far, there hasn't been anything that I've seen her which she has not given a good performance. Rebus, Doctor Who, We'll Take Manhattan, Oculus, Guardians of the Galaxy, Bound For Greatness, Selfie and now Not Another Happy Ending. She has given nothing but good performances. Not Another Happy Ending is one of her best performances and she gave her best. I really don't blame Karen Gillan for being nervous for taking her clothes off on screen, but for what it's worth, she has a great body. Stanley Weber was a good choice to play the male lead Tom whom is an anti-hero. I thought the character was not likable and he was such a jerk. Good film. If you are fans of Karen Gillan and if you enjoyed Hotel Chevalier, Selfie, There's Something About Mary. I recommend this film.
The Sights and Sounds of New Young Scotland? Fun, enjoyable and well done.
Rom Com a bit of a maligned term in the world of films, but I think it is a question of degree. Would I like a full on romantic film? No. Would I like a full on comedy? No. So a combination of these two is likely to be a disaster for me, unless it is done as well Not Another Happy Ending. The film is well acted and all characters are well drawn, memorable and actors put their hearts into the performance. The camera work and editing do a great job to establishing the world the characters inhabit but allow the characters time to develop instead quickly moving on to next scene. The direction is interesting when it needs to be, but the actors are the main focus on the film, so that is just as well fancy camera work is not used when they are delivering their performances. The story is enjoyable and probably more realistic than you might think, if you think that would never happen or character would not be like that, for the purpose of entertainment let it go, its not a gritty life study. Karen Gillan really has proved her her leading lady status here, and although the star of the film the supporting cast are also fantastic you can tell there must have been temptation to expand their roles further, perhaps should be focus of further stories. Criticism of the film I would say is mostly the predictability of the plot,even with my little knowledge of the Rom Com,you know what is going to happen , but, these films are not watched for plot twists , unpredictable events. Budget is not a noticeable issue but it has a feel of an extended pilot for a TV series which never got made (and of course should have been made)and those who helped crowdsource fund the film should be proud of what the helped create. A final recommendation is the music, it's great and mostly not well known. The most mainstream track saved for the high emotional point, almost goes too far , but I can forgive that or release the soundtrack I can always skip that track, while loving the rest. Passes the Bechdel Test
Delightful Scottish Rom-Com
I was privileged to see the premiere of this film, and to have seen a day of its' filming. This is a delightful Scottish Rom-Com, a rare breed to start with, set in a Glasgow few would recognize from previous films and TV. The film is bright, funny, charming and warm. Its' headline stars are the always beautiful Karen Gillan, who positively owns the big screen, and the oh so tall and handsome Stanley Weber. The pairing works tremendously well and is supported by a wonderful cast, the worst that could be said of which, is that they don't get enough screen time! The film is well paced and beautifully scored with some fantastic up and coming Scots groups, including TeenCanteen, who sound brilliant. The director, John McKay and his team have done a sterling job and I am impatiently waiting a general cinematic release and subsequent blu-ray release so that I can watch this wonderful film again, and again...
Funny, Quirky Film
I wasn't quite sure to expect when I started watching this film, but I'm a fan of Karen Gillan and thought anything she's in is worth giving a try. It's always my policy to watch at least twenty minutes of anything; if it hasn't sufficiently caught my attention within the first twenty minutes, it's not worth wasting my time to watch the rest of it. That being said, I was hooked almost immediately. I can identify with the plight of Jane the protagonist; I'm a writer who tends to put strong elements of the autobiographical in my work. I also know the plight of, as Tom puts it early on in the film, "worshiping my pain." I thought the acting was good, really good. Karen showcased a host of different emotions seemingly effortlessly. Stanley Weber (whom I'd never seen in anything else) also did well exhibiting a host of different emotions, especially when it came down to the parts where he started to realize that he was in love with Jane and it dawned on him just how badly he'd screwed up. Iain De Caestecker was absolutely brilliant as Roddy. I liked the dynamic between Jane and her father; though things started out rocky between them, and though I'm not usually a fan of happy endings (pun intended), I'm glad that, in the end, they resolved to work on their relationship and mend the things that were broken. I thought the character Willie was unnecessary and irritating, but I suppose Jane had to have something initially preventing her from being with Tom, and another man in the picture is as good of a reason as any. I did think that having Darsie, Jane's character, was a good addition to the storyline. Overall, I thought it was a good movie, something fun and romantic to watch on a rainy day, and I'd definitely watch it again.
Nice, cheery, romantic and quirky!
I've seen this film twice now, first in Edinburgh at the film festival, then in Inverness. I enjoyed it both times. You have to bear in mind the target audience for this. It's for people who want to watch something light-hearted and fun, and in this it certainly delivers. It's quirky and fun and the cast give excellent performances. Karen is, as ever, beautiful and very camera friendly. She portrays the character well and her dialogue with the delightful Darsie is nicely done. Her dad is very believable and gritty. Willie is quietly loathsome and you really want him to be kicked to the kerb! Darsie and Roddy are excellent characters and acted very well indeed. The chemistry between Jane and Tom was a bit lacklustre, but it was still 'nice'. There's enough footage of Glasgow to show it in a nice light without it looking like an ad for visitscotland. It's encouraging to see Glasgow in a movie where it's not all about violence, poverty or drugs. (or zombies, if you count World War Z!) All in all, it's a nice movie. If you like this genre you should go see it. If you like Karen Gillan, you should DEFINITELY go see it!
