Movie Review: Happythankyoumoreplease

You might recognize Josh Radnor from tv's How I Met Your Mother but the screenwriter/director in him has made its debut in the upcoming movie Happythankyoumoreplease. I saw a screening of the film at the GenArt Film Festival occurring over the next week here in New York and was overwhelmingly pleased with the entire evening's film presentations.

In Happythankyoumoreplease you're introduced to the character of Sam Wexler, played by Radnor, who although thinks himself to be a good guy, is slightly selfish outside of his immediate circle of friends. This all changes when Sam meets a young child who is separated from his foster care family on the subway. The film also highlights the lives of Sam's friends who bring alot of layers and poignancy to the storyline. Also starring in the film are Malin Akerman (Watchmen, Couples Retreat), Zoe Kazan (Revolutionary Road, It's Complicated), and Kate Mara (Entourage, Iron Man 2).

Check out an interview with Radnor below from the Sundance Film Festival where the film premiered and acquired distribution and a limited release date of August 27th. This is definitely a New Yorker's movie, as it was shot here, mostly in the downtown areas all in a matter of 5 weeks!
