Happiness Is

I had high hopes for Happiness Is..., but unfortunately, it was a complete waste of a budget. The film felt painfully predictable, especially with the lead actress (Stuurman) once again playing the same repetitive role of being in love, looking for love, or falling out of love. It's like she's stuck in a typecast loop.

The wardrobe was over the top and unnecessary, making it hard to follow whether scenes were taking place on the same day or at different times. It was visually confusing and just too much.

To make matters worse, a lot of scenes felt completely irrelevant to the storyline (if there even was one). I honestly couldn't figure out the plot. The script was terrible, and while a few characters tried to salvage it, the acting was underwhelming. Overall, I'm left feeling disappointed-yet again-by South African productions. They need to up their game.
