It's really good. I hope that guy makes more movies.
BenDavid GrabinskiMar 15, 2021Happiness, Don Draper once barked at some Dow Chemical execs during a rare moment of almost complete honesty, is just a moment before you need more happiness. Most of us seem to understand that on some unconscious level. We surrender to happiness in the short, contained…
davidehrlichMar 22, 2021Happily is a fun rom-com but also an unsettling, paranoia-infused genre-bending thriller. It's goes in some very weird directions and the premise is original and delightfully twisted but it kinda fizzles at the end. Definitely, a case of the journey being better than the…

It's enough that at almost no point did I know where this was headed. When it got there, well, that part wasn't so great, but on the other hand I'm not sure what exactly would have sufficed.
matt lynchMar 17, 2021Happily almost does it for me. There is a lot of potential in BenDavid Grabinski’s Happily. Joel McHale and Kerry Bishe are believable as the happy horny couple. There is a good amount of dark humor. The cast is pretty much a bunch of asshats minus the leads. What did…

The trailer for this film is so strong and sharp, and promises The Perfect Host-style twists aplenty. The actual film feels like it needs another half an hour of character work to cohere. The big reveals all come down to telling us that underdeveloped, hateful characters…

alexisJun 9, 2021”This is wrong” What starts out as a great Twilight Zone premise with the dark comedy potential of a Villains, slowly finds itself languishing in Vivarium’s stagnant neighborhood. Is it just me or would this movie had been better if the entire cast were locked in that…

Happily drifts into the same kind of sci fi-tinged bourgeois relationship drama territory as Elizabeth Moss/Mark Duplass four-hander The One I Love, or the dimension-hopping dinner party of indie fave Coherence. Snide, sleek, and effortlessly biting, Happily is wittier and meaner than either, but also curiously romantic, like an episode of The Twilight Zone with a score by the Mountain Goats.

Grabinski has both wit and energy, and these qualities, along with a game cast, help keep “Happily” afloat for far longer than most made-in-L.A. dark domestic comedies. But the movie wants to do too many things, and grows diffuse.

A clever, high-concept dark comedy that uses the moral clarity of “The Twilight Zone” to see through the veil of modern cynicism, Happily jackknifes into the murky waters between #RelationshipGoals and #BodySnatcherVibes as it skewers the assumption that something must be very wrong with anyone who’s too happy for too long.
