Fairways to Happiness

Fairways to happiness is a film with a very creative narrative. I loved the use of golf as an analogy of life, with its ups and downs, challenges and rewards, sometimes alone, sometimes in company. The photography is beautiful, with contrasting views of cities and nature. The melody is very nice and a perfect complement to the different scenes. This film truly inspires reflection, and invites to see life through other peoples eyes and perspectives. I really enjoyed it and would see it again. I strongly recommend it if you like philosofic films, if you are a golf player, or simply want to spend a happy moment.

I found myself reviewing my own thoughts on happiness. Thought provoking, humorous, well done. The filmography and all those serial shots so well done. All in all I really enjoyed the film and probably learned a few more golf term words. That interviewee definitely has a good outlook on life and his golf game.

Despite all of the glitz and glamour of Dubai, real people do live in the city. This documentary really captures a Dubai life that is rarely seen or discussed.

The film followers a golfer trying to crack the Jebel Ali Beach Hotel Golf Course. At the same time, the film intertwines the various characters that make up the daily Dubai life and asks the ephemeral question about "What is Happiness?"

The film grabs people from across the globe to give their first hand opinion with regards to happiness. From Nepal.to the UK, the film stages the various nationalities in Dubai.

Expat life can seem pretentious in Dubai, but Doug Morrione does a great job to show a true view of this life.

Wonderful people, scenery, bits of insight, and moments to laugh. Don't need to be a golfer to enjoy, but it sure was fun sitting next to one through this showing in Maine!

The film was very well done and director Douglas Morrione does a really nice job weaving together his personal experience with the expertise and insights of others around the idea of finding happiness. The film depicts many perspectives from around the world with a common thread centered around life in Dubai, UAE. Covering heavy topics around what brings us happiness in life, what it means to pursue said happiness, with lots of comic relief found on the golf course. Definitely a thought provoking must watch documentary.
