dan-willi84 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.

SnoopyStyle Jane Lockhart (Karen Gillan) is not a happy person. She hates her publisher Frenchman Tom Duval for changing the title of her book to Happy Ending. The book becomes a best seller. She reconnects with her estranged father Benny. Her boyfriend Willie Scott is writing the screenplay. Everything seems to be perfect but she can't finish her second book. She's stuck on Chapter 37. Her fictional protagonist Darsie starts hounding her. Tom fears her writer's block threatens his company. With his assistant Roddy, Tom tries to make her unhappy like before so she would finish her book. Her happiness is only on the surface and Tom finds himself falling for her.I want Karen Gillan to get better material than this. This is not that funny. Any smile-worthy moments come from Karen being Karen. She's not really a comedian. She has some physical comedic skills but it's not enough. There are very few relationships with chemistry in this movie. The best one is probably the father daughter struggles. Gary Lewis is the only one doing any worthwhile acting. Stanley Weber is rather stiff and he doesn't have enough time with Gillan. They need more screen time together to develop that chemistry. On the other side, Henry Ian Cusick is playing a superficial villain. This is not good enough.

lauravalerietaylor 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.

Nigel Pope (Nigpope) With Karen Gillan evoking echoes of Diane Keaton in Annie Hall and Glasgow's merchant city standing in for Manhatten, NAHE is a true Scottish rom-com. Gillan is funny, beautiful and displays a real gift for comic timing. Weber looks equally gorgeous and though his delivery is sometimes idiosyncratic, he looks so good, it doesn't matter a bit! There's a fine supporting cast too and a 'light as air' plot beautifully orchestrated by director David Mackay. The positive, life-affirming values of Scotland''s biggest, dirtiest, but conversely most romantic city are well deployed as a dramatic counterpoint. Delightful!
