Customer Reviews of Happy, Texas
Happy Texas I 'd passed this movie on the shelves of movie rental stores for some time now and I just want to kick myself for not renting it sooner. After I saw this movie, I just had to have it for my movie collection. The box cover isn't a natural "attention grabber", but don't underestimate this movie's quality because of that. Happy Texas packs tons of laughs. This movie was well put together and the story line is definitely unique. Steve Zahn is one hilarious character. The scene where he tries to teach a group of young girls how to dance for a local children's pageant makes Happy Texas worth buying in itself. There's plenty more to this gutbusting comedy, but I'll let you judge for yourself. I think you'll find this one handsdown, 'No Contest'. And remember...." the light is green!" Check this one out!
Macy Makes Happy!!!!!!!!
Happy Texas is one GREAT movie!!!!
I remember standing in line for HOURS to see it at Sundance!!!
Happy is a wonderfully sweet, totally odd little ditty of a film. A FIRST rate cast with an easy directing style filled with very real, funny, quirky and off the cuff characters that well ALL know. Just look around your own hometown....You know people just like those in Happy....We all do!!
Macy really makes Happy, TX-------William H. Macy is one of our most talented actors working today. I was really hoping for an Oscar nod for his work. Macy's character "Chappy" is his finest to date. As you watch his character, one tends to forget that you are watching "an actor". "Chappy" becomes totally real!!! Witness the "Proper Date" and the " Rejection" scenes if you have any doubts.
Happy is really much better after 2 or 3 watchings. Small little details surface that are easily missed the first time. Example: Check out the photo on Sheriff Dent's desk!!!
Also some of the characters odder than normal mannerism become more visible and more funny!!!
Happy is a quiet, gentle little movie------It doesn't shout at you. It makes you laugh---BUT---It REALLY makes you smile. Which is PRETTY cool!!!!
Good Behavior
Hollywood can't resist making rural southern folks, Texans, appear dumb, religious, and oversexed. The Cohn brothers did a better job with Raising Arizona, but I'll give enough praise here to recommend a daft copy. Steve Zahn certainly has mastered the prison-bird-dysfunctional. He barely can express himself in southern drawl so thick, 'how ya doin' sounds like 'hdauon.' Zahn and Jeremy Northam take the identities of two beauty pageant twits and set up shop in Happy, Texas. William H. Macy as the local sheriff is fascinating, brilliant, again. He's a lawman and he's in love with Northam, a 'homoasexual.' Naturally, the in fact straight Northam falls for the blonde clerk of the local bank while Zahn teaches little girls how to win a beauty contest. Zahn finds new sensitivities in dance, song, and Junior Misses. Then the bank robbery goes wrong. Don't worry; they'll be out in 22 months for good behavior. A little slow, but nice try.
