FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Happy-Go-Lucky

Rating: 3 out of 10

Starring: Sally Hawkins, Alexis Zegerman

Genre: Mature audience comedy/romance

Hawkins stars as a 30-year-old elementary school teacher. The reviewer in the local newspaper gives this movie 31/2 stars (out of 4) and treats her as a happy free spirit with "unflappable optimism; but to me, she is just plain goofy and immature. We started to bail out of this one midway through, but stuck it out just to see where it was going. It appeared pretty witless, but was a little more meaningful toward the end. I could have spent 2 hours doing something more interesting. Chatter among young English women was almost impossible to follow.
