Ugly, disgusting and really uncomfortable. But somehow still a comedy. Of sorts. How the hell did this ever get made? "Hi studio exec - my name is Todd Solondz and I'm here to depress the hell out of you. Give me some money, please?" One of the greatest things to come out of the 90s.

A scorchingly harsh movie. Really digs deep into the bleakness of interpersonal relationships and how difficult it is to control any of our own fates. The whole movie plays like a terrible dream that feels entirely true . . . and its humor is so black that you feel awful while you're laughing.

Insanely dark comedy that fits right into the Solondz mould. This is by far my faviourite Solondz film, the humour is brutal and at times even scary making the viewer uncomfortable yet somehow fascinated as to just how far this movie will push it. The dialogue is sharp and the performances are brilliant. In particular Seymour Hoffman's performance is epic. A masterpiece.

The darkest of black comedies, for when faced with this much awkwardness, ugliness, and angst, what other way is their to cope but to laugh? Made all the more uncomfortable once you find something in it to relate too, in spite of your desire to distance yourself from the characters as much as possible. Baker and Hoffman's performances stand out amongst a group of already strong performances.

This is a story of people who are desperately seeking happiness which is so hard to achieve. There is no shortcut for love. And happiness is so different for different people. We are blocked by exptectations created by ourselves and by other people. Everything is shown through black humour which is pretty serious more deeper you go with it. Many brilliant performances, excellent directing.

'It was a crime of passion, ... I'm a passionate woman.' The amount of brilliante dialogues you find in Happiness is amazing. ... You will be blown away by its dark, savage humour, and its uncomforting view on relations and sex. ... Still the best of Todd Solondz's repertoire.

The finest pitch-black comedy in existence. Much better than Welcome the the Dollhouse and free of the annoying stylistic choices that dragged down Palindromes, this is Solondz's finest movie. Equally disturbing and hilarious, you'll be laughing at the very same things that make you cringe.

Deeply misanthropic and revolting...yet I loved every minute of its cringe-inducing dialog and (with a few exceptions) the genuinely loathsome/pathetic characters. Far and away the best flick of Solondz's relatively small corpus of work.

Jesus fucking christ, nothing could have prepared me for this. I always applaud films that can show me something I've never seen before, and this film was basically a two-hour procession of scenes doing exactly that, or at least depicting things in a different way than I've ever seen before. I was constantly in awe of the script and every little directorial choice. It's perfectly cast, too, down to even the smallest role.

What a movie! The whole package: story, style, cinematography is very distinct. It might have to do with it being the first movie by Solondz I have seen, but it really surprised me. It is really, REALLY fucked-up social satire, but also funny and smart (kind of like me). Afterwards I read articles proclaiming Solondz to be the patron saint of pessimism or self-conscious misanthrope. So OK, it's not a movie for everyone, but if you'll like it, you gonna love it.

This is a greatly accomplished true black comedy with an amazing array of grey tones. It's difficult to find well-rounded, detailed screenplays that rely on the viewer's intelligence to catch the subtletly, but Solondz and his amazing cast laregly succeed and gives us a sense of watching something that trascends.

couldn't watch this one to the end, it's SO incredibly obvious and forced. just for calling a film about despaired and broken personalities "happiness" solondz deserves a heavy slap - i mean, that is not even irony, it's just dull. --- though there is some ben gazzara in it, which is always a plus i guess.

Todd Solondz is a genious. Although not a horror film, Happiness is a terrifying movie. It's brilliance is in how it leads one to imagine the harshest of sexual/emotional deviances yet it never explicitly states or shows them. If one is confident that their sense of humour is sick and twisted enough, this movie is completely worth seeing.

It was this film above all the others that had me distraught and completely at a loss when Philip Seymour Hoffman died. I don't think anyone else on the planet could achieve what he does in this. Haven't seen it for a long time, and not sure when I'll ever watch it again, but it sticks in the memory. Recommend that you watch this only with friends that you trust emotionally and intellectually, but do watch it with someone so you can talk it through afterwards!

This movie covers some hard subjects about sexual psychology not often covered in movies. All this subjects covered together make it a very ambitious and how they are approached is interesting. But I don't think it has aged well and feels outdated, nevertheless it has some interesting dialogues and performances.

Mercilessly cynical combination of dark humor and dead-on social commentary. Scenes that would appear 'cute' in other contexts (Baker -fantastic in this- awkwardly trying to please his romantic interest via tuna sandwiches) are twisted in unforgettable ways -questioning the way we view both film and reality itself. Solondz isn't always above clunky juxtaposition, but his demolition of social facades as well as his search for humanity in even the 'sickest' situations is piercing and hilarious.

Occasionally takes a false step by going for cheap shots and even gets the tiniest bit sitcommy (especially when LFB's on screen), but it somehow manages to sidestep bashing you in the face with its misanthropy -- the fact that the film managed to go this far and not simultaneously try way too hard is a minor miracle. The writing is, those few aforementioned biffs aside, pitch-black and pitch-perfect, and several of the performances (Manheim, PSH, and especially Dylan Baker) are phenomenal.

The first time I watched this movie was at work. This was in the age of megavideo so I was able to stream it easily. Not one of the best choices I made at that job. I had never really seen anything like it. It was funny, in a way that didn’t seem like it was okay to laugh at, and gave pity to characters that only ever had received scorn. I still fall in line more with Baumbach when it comes to American indie cinema of the 90s, but the power is undeniable here.

Todd Solondz is one twisted mofo, and I mean that in the best possible way. This almost redefines the concept of "black comedy". The total deadpan style could not have been easy to pull off with this kind of material--great writing, great work from the actors, and unerring direction.

(Viewed on 15/12/13): Young Solondz was a fundamentally disturbed person, and his films played like a proverbial settling of scores. Even his attempts to 'humanize' a paedophile seem slightly disingenuous and borderline misanthropic. Some of his recent work is less twisted and bitter, but Happiness occupies a special place in resentmentville, a dark distorted funhouse mirror reflection of the world we all recognise which is about as 'truthful' as your average Hollywood movie.

What can I say. It's a well made film, possibly even a masterpiece, but I'd be lying if I were to tell you that I enjoyed watching it. This movie is complicated and is sure to be divisive. Were I an adult in 1998 and had watched it in the cinemea, I would have probably walked right out. There's not much more to say. They call it dark comedy, and it did truly make me laugh on occasion, but every laugh is followed by an inescapable feeling of dread for the human race.

This is a really good little dark comedy, and it's too bad I never heard of it outside of totally random chance, seeing clips of it on youtube.

Like another user already pointed out, this movie has an enormous set of balls, building itself around themes that most directors would never dare to make a movie about. How this movie went so over the top with its black humor, while also keeping it subtle... I have no idea how they managed to do this, but they did. The only problem I had with this movie is that I found it pretty hard to sit through. It's not a very easy watch, but it is definitely rewarding.

Top badass moment? At the start of the film, Allen strikes a blow for downtrodden men everywhere with his "I'm Champagne" tirade. Admittedly he picks on the somewhat weedy Joy as the target for his 'stand', but nevertheless he knocks the ball right out of the ground. Yeah; men rise up and take back your birthright! No more will we be under the thumb of woman-kind! Reclaim the mighty sword of masculinity and trousers of relationship power! No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

As the title suggests, this film is about a bunch of people looking for happiness. The problem is, they're all deeply unhappy in their own way as well as several of them being seriously disturbed or troubled. I'm talking murder, child molestation and more. So, yeah, there's some fairly controversial content in this movie. Despite this, it remained quite light in tone. It's a dark comedy, for sure. It had many great performances and was always interesting. I enjoyed it a lot.

Sure, it's a disturbed drama, but I wasn't THAT shocked by it, and once you get past that "shocking exterior", it's just kind of an aimless drama that doesn't do as much with the characters as I would've liked, and could really use 30 minutes chopped off. I really just wanted to see more from Joy, actually. If laughing at depressingly pathetic people is your dig, this is the movie for you! Didn't do much for me though. Score is not a grade.

Fuck me, this is some heavy stuff. There's no sugarcoating anything here, it's a detailed analysis of how fucked up people are. Especially the ones you wouldn't think of. You gotta bow down to Philip Seymour Hoffmann and especially Dylan Baker for bravely taking on very, VERY debatable roles.

A 'pursuit of happiness' of mostly sexually frustrated, perverted characters. Feels like a 'Requiem for a Dream' wannabe.

it kinda feels like its being offensive and miserable for the sake of being offensive and miserable. most of the stories don't go anywhere and the film generally fails to make a statement about the things it depicts. on the plus side, lara flynn boyle is hilarious.

I can admire how well acted the film is and the very dark comedic stuff Solondz employs through the screenplay, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't uncomfortable throughout the movie. It's not often that I agree with the MPAA, and I'm still not certain that I agree with them in this case, but it's definitely the closest to being right. That said, I'm definitely thankful that movies like this exist, always challenging the viewer and what they can and can't tolerate.

Awkward stuff. And by awkward, I don't mean socially awkward penguin, but I mean asking your pederast dad if he would rape you as well since he raped your friends. Yeeaaah, the title is obviously ironic.

Amazing film full of interweaving twists as a variety of characters try to find love by pursuing sex. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Lara Flynn Boyle are amazing polar opposites. Also portrays pedophilia in a very matter-of-fact way. I chuckled throughout the movie, and I kinda felt guilty for it. That, my fellow reviewers, is black comedy gold.

Squirm-inducing examination of life's disappointments. Every character is flawed - the most sympathetic is a child molester!

The pretentious title and premise belie a contrived, directionless drama spiked with crude and awkward sexual humor that elicited annoyed "pffft"s from me but was never smart or funny. The text has no redeeming qualities and amounts to clothed sexploitation with a budget.
