is happy annoying?

have you seen happy-go-lucky? it's on instant and i'm really into that these days. i watched two movies last night, cuz i'm avoiding school work, my sister went to bed and i don't have anyone to go out with on saturday night.

so, happy-go-luck is about this elementary school teacher in london who's always happy and smilely. she lives with her best friend zoe, wears totally crazy outfits and is just good and taking everything in stride. she starts taking driving lessons when her bike is stolen and the driving instructor is really grumpy and a little crazy.

it's marked as a comedy and i was sure she was going to find out that the driving instructor is really cool deep down inside and she was going to fall in love. she takes flaminco lessons with a friend and i thought he would be there. spoiler? you haven't told me if you're ok with spoilers.

anyway, it's a mike leigh movie. we had a mike leigh section at the video store and people loved him, but he always seemed too serious for me, although i love write/directors. i've only seen topsy-turvy, but that's cuz i love gilbert and sullivan.

mostly it's a movie about her life. she has this really amazing fight with her sisters, really realistic and interesting to see. and, she's just a good person. she's happy-go-lucky, but very serious and loving.

and, there's this part in the end where the driving instructor asks if this guy was her boyfriend and she doesn't answer. i never know when not to answer. i would have just answered, but i guess not answering was the right thing to do. have you help me with this please?
