Customer Ratings & Reviews

A typical psychiatrist, this guy is always searching for happiness. What could have been a soppy, maudlin exercise in mediocrity, is instead an extremely well-acted comedy with more than its share of drama and excitement. Based on Francois Lelord's novel "Le voyage d'Hector ou la recherche de bonheur," this R-rated comedy, co-written and directed by Peter Chelsom (Shall We Dance -2004), includes adventure in exotic places, e.g., China, Tibet, Africa and Los Angeles, plus domestic drama in London; so you'll get your money's worth.

This is a great movie to watch if you are down in the dumps, or are just a great Simon Pegg fan! Both of which I was when I watched the movie! It quickly lifted my spirits and gave me a vested interested in the characters! It was well written and well directed. Rosamund Pike as the girlfriend helped turn a movie that should have been a "predictable" romp into a gem

It's too bad that this film got lost in the 2014 movies. limited release and little advertising was unfair for a film that I am certain will find it's audience with time...the way "a Christmas Story" and "Clue" did. Check out this movie and you won't be disappointed.

Enjoyed the performances.. a full spectrum of emotion... had me laughing hard one minute, serious the next.

Big Simon Pegg fan. He was perfect playing the serious yet rather clueless character. Movie came together very well at the end.

This movie has become one of my all time favorites. Another Simon Pegg feature at it's best!

You hit every emotion... and feel it for yourself.

Big fan of Simon Pegg and enjoy the storyline as well. A pleasure to watch.

I thought that this was a fun comedy/love story. Great photography!

Through the looking Glass approach towards the main title.

I like English humor and this one satisfied my like

Funny but real for some - general no-brainer entertainment
