Happy-Go-Lucky

An almost unwatchable British POS "comedy." It's like watching a bad Ricky Gervais imitator doing an impression of SNL's Bloder brothers (Jimmy Fallon and Chris Parnell). Here's typical dialogue. A frustrated driving instructor says, "Bear with me." The heroine, chuckling nervously, says, "Where is he?" The film follows this happy-go-lucky (hence the title) teacher as she goes about her life. She's the kind of teacher who will stare out the window at a kid during recess being beat up, and then she'll do something about it . . . the second time it happens. That's right. She watches the first time, then asks her angry driving instructor if he was beat up as a kid, and then the second time the kid is on the ground being hit in the face, she tries to stop it. A fine teacher.

Never watch this movie.
