Happythankyoumoreplease (2010) 7/10

Starring : Josh Radnor, Malin Akerman, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Pablo Schreiber, Tony Hale, Michael Algieri
Director : Josh Radnor
Running Time : 99 mins

Sam Wexler (Radnor) is a struggling writer who finds a boy named Rasheen (Algieri) who has been separated from his foster family on the subway and decides to take him in. His decision to try to adopt him couldn’t have come at a worse time as he meets and falls for a lounge singer named Mississippi (Mara).

This is one of those movies that feels slow paced when you’re watching it but once it’s over you suddenly realise that a lot actually happened. There are three key groups of people, and this movie gives us a small window into a period of time in their lives and shows us how their lives interconnect and how each person changes their friends. Malin Akerman is probably the stand out performer in this movie, managing to still look attractive even playing an alopecia sufferer, and her scenes with Tony Hale are probably the best.
