wfhbear This movie was released in 2010. I have no idea where it has been hiding or why I have never heard of it. (All Huge Libraries like Netflics and VOD-Thank You) Anyway, there is a lot of out loud laughter and snickering caused by this movie. If I didn't know better I would think it was a "hall mark" except for the off-color words that get thrown around. (This is not a complaint) You can get yourself a bit dizzy over the character's interactions with each other. Since we are now old and not of the Saturday evening movie "Cuddling Group" anymore we discussed a lot of what was going on and made ourselves laugh even more. I really liked Malin Akerman, her happy attitude and outward effervesces was a real centered throughout the movie. Michael Algier's dead pan looks and is straight answers what he was asked made for humor and some very sad instances. Josh Radnor was the center of this movie. He was kind'a of a civilian "Sad Sack". Zoe Kazan and Kate Mara were, well I'd chase both through the streets of NYC. These Actors were spot on with their emotions and reactions to everything. There are no spoilers in this review because you really need to watch HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE. and get your own opinions. I hope everyone takes the time to enjoy this movie.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen Josh Radnor is a lot like his character in HIMYM I think, I mean he seems to love New York as his setting, he likes the arts, Music, Imagery, Lighting and Emotions. All of his passions (or what I think is his passions), seem to blend great into this film and really make a nice and sweet film, maybe a bit of a strange film and plot, but the storytelling really works and I was entertained.This is a easy passed comedy, maybe even a Romantic Comedy, but with more Comedy then Romance. It has a handful of different locations, but centers New York and is kind of rough in its expression, but very likable and witty and charming.I enjoyed this very very much, it is a simple tale, a good story, realistic characters and just fun in many ways.

SnoopyStyle Sam Wexler (Josh Radnor) is a story writer living in NYC. One day on the subway, he finds little Rasheen who lost his foster mom. He's not eager to go back and Sam is in a rush to a job interview. Then he takes him to his friend Annie (Malin Akerman)'s party. Annie is suffering from alopecia and hounded by an annoying co-worker Sam #2 (Tony Hale). Her sometimes mantra is "Thank You! More Please." Friend Mary Catherine (Zoe Kazan) is also at the party whose boyfriend Charlie (Pablo Schreiber) wants to move to L.A. for a job opportunity but she doesn't. Sam #1 is infatuated with waitress Mississippi (Kate Mara).I want to like this more. The characters are indie-quirky and likable enough. However, a couple of little things keep bothering me about this movie. First the truly minor thing is that the kid should be cuter. Don't get me wrong. The kid is cute but he really should be cuter. Second, I kept thinking that this is kidnapping. The movie would work fine if he just kept the kid overnight. The longer he stayed, the more unreal the movie became. It got to be so ridiculous that the other characters are annoyed at him. Finally, the characters need more connections. They don't work together and they aren't roommates. The stories just feel a little bit separated. It would be better for them to be connected and therefore have more easy meetings together. Overall, there are some funny moments and some nice indie moments. I'm just bothered by the unintentional kidnapping.

Steve Pulaski Josh Radnor seems to understand the quirks and eccentric qualities of white people the way Tyler Perry understands deeper nature of black people. Both filmmakers have their flaws - one makes a great deal of the story too unbelievable while the other makes a great deal of the story overwrought and overly-sentimental - but both men succeed on some difficult levels of filmmaking.Radnor's directorial debut, confusingly titled Happythankyoumoreplease, is ostensibly another piece of "hipster cinema" that exists in the same light as Zach Braff's Garden State or Marc Webb's (500 Days) of Summer. Radnor undoubtedly has a few things similar to the aforementioned films (they feature characters with lives too quirky and arty to be believable and seem to carry the mindset that one off-the-wall woman could change it all), but there's believable humanization done in the film. It's a little bit Woody Allen, a little bit modern independent cinema, and a little bit of Radnor's sitcom style that indisputably comes from his work on How I Met Your Mother.With all that artiness, the film shouldn't work, but sort of does. It focuses on three relationships, all of which developed to some considerable extent. The first, and best, involves Radnor himself as Sam, a struggling freelance writer who meets a young black child named Rasheen (Michael Algieri) on the subway. At first, Rasheen's dialog is confined to short, fragmented statements and the boy rarely answers Sam's question, which are asked in a very dictative manner. As time goes on, we see Rasheen's social comfortableness around Sam comes out not in a more loquacious manner, but in a more relaxed manner, lacking the apprehensive questionable tone he uses when he first meets Sam.Moreover, Sam decides since he couldn't leave Rasheen out in public in good conscious, he takes him in, briefly, at his small apartment in upstate New York. On the way there with the kid he meets Mississippi (Kate Mara), an attractive redhead who works at a bar and sings whenever she gets the opportunity. Sam and Mississippi try to maintain a platonic relationship for the time being, but it gets complicated with Rasheen in the picture and Sam's opposition to seeing Mississippi perform because he had a relationship in the past that was burdened when he discovered the woman he was with had no discernible talent.The following romantic plot involves Annie (Malin Åkerman), an Alopecia patient (the kind that throws "Alopecia awareness parties"), who claims to Sam that she dates "twenty-nine-year-old twelve-year-olds" when describing their maturity level. When trying to carry a relationship with directionless weirdos, she finds herself always the conversation buddy of another Sam (Tony Hale), who works two floors above her. She will inevitably earn the value of the "don't judge a book by its cover" rule soon enough.And then there's Sam's cousin Mary Catherine (Zoe Kazan) and her boyfriend Charlie (Pablo Schreiber), a couple struggling to think about whether they should leave New York City and reside in California or stay confined to the land they know best.Any cinephile can see that Radnor is trying Woody Allen's romantic uncertainty style on for size. One could even identify that in his sophomore effort Liberal Arts. At one point, a character regards how another character has moved completely out of focus to the point of being an abstract figure. This is a direct reference to one of Allen's darkest and most forgotten pictures, Deconstructing Harry. At one point, another character regards a man who is great but makes too many movies. She questions why he needs to make one a year and not one every other year. She too mentions that he should spend time with his wife, who is also his daughter. She is also nearly blackout drunk.While possessing scenes that work because of their strong depictions of young relationships (the scenes with Sam and Mississippi are terrific as well as the scenes featuring Sam and Rasheen), Happythankyoumoreplease struggles with making each of its stories interesting. The Sam and Mississippi relationship works right off the bat because of both characters' evident chemistry and smiley personalities. Annie's relationship with Sam (nicknamed Sam #2) is strong because it hits deeper heights than many films focusing on one full-length relationship do (consider the scene when the two sit down for a surprisingly meaningful talk at a restaurant). The relationship that feels dry and archetypal is between Mary Catherine and Charlie's, but perhaps that's intentional. They are the youngest couple in the film, and that childish naivety seems to still linger above them like a raincloud on an overcast day. Kazan and Schreiber's chemistry is often flat and unremarkable, but both actors show at least an interest in their characters just by the way they exercise their quirks to each other.Happythankyoumoreplease has the power to deeply resonate with an audience and completely alienate and irritate the other. I was taken by the way it carried these three relationships almost zealously, and applaud Radnor for making his first film a moderately-ambitious, crafty project. He would later make Liberal Arts, as previously mentioned, a small gem but a great one at that, that subtly tackled the problem of useless passions and age-gaps in relationships. Radnor will hopefully continue to be a poet for the young, and I'll be damned if the young couldn't use enough of them. Don't swear.
