Waste of time
I'm sorry, but *to me* this movie was very boring.. I kept wondering when I was going to see a plot forming. Basically it just shows how an airhead who has not yet grown up at 30 lives her life which is sometimes responsible (as a teacher) and sometimes not (getting drunk with the girls, sex on first date). Then she gets involved with a psycho driving instructor and has to deal with his aggressive antics. If I were to sum it up, it is about an ditzy young woman who refuses to grow up and always wears "rose colored" glasses.

Just calm yourselves down
Yes, it's sweet and yes, it's likeable, but by no means is it a masterpiece. I will freely admit that Sally Hawkins is wonderful in the film, but that's pretty much the extent of the film's quality. The plot: well, there really isn't one. There's a happy person who teaches, she takes driving lessons from ssome whacko who secretly likes her, and falls in love with a social worker. Being a comitted fan of British humor, I expected a bust-a-gut comedy, but that's not really what it was. It was funny, just not that fuunny. And honestly, people need to stop posting five-star reviews. Just ffor the record, I was the biggest fan of the film in the group that I watched it with, they found it dreadful and slow. So, if you want to just kind of wind down, "Happy-Go-Lucky" is a fine choice, and aside from a little drinking and an f-word or to it's not very inaproppriate.
