lol! there was no one in the house when i watched it and so i allowed myself to get quite vocal. this started out as gut wrenching laughter, but at certain points i turned to load groans and screams of "no!" because it just seemed to go to far at points and became sickening rather than humorous, but in the end it was all worth it.

I thought the opening scene (in the restaurant) was one of the most uncomfortable piece of cinema ever filmed. I was squirming around in my seat wanting to leave the theatre. It was a good movie, but I'm sure the subject matter would strike some people as tasteless.

i rented it in september after having looked for it for THREE YEARS. it's really not that bad, in my opinion. i found it very funny, not very disturbing (compared to its buildup).

Anyone seen Todd's newest film Storytelling? I thought it was pretty good. I loved John Goodman and the lady who played his wife. The documentary film was hilarious too. Todd Solondz is quite a filmmaker.

I saw Storrytelling and enjoyed it to pieces.
LeCoeur, you should see Storrytelling, and just know that Happiness is a bit more tasteless and offensive and you can decide whether or not you need to see it.
Btw, the opening scene for Happiness was awesome. I didn't want it to end.

regarding the first question, that varies from person to person.
regarding the second question, that varies from area to area. in a city you can find it. in missouri? good luck. you can order the dvd quite easily online tho.

honestly titsworth, missouri gets a bad wrap. you probably have the wrong impression of it,,,BUT, your right, happiness is probably hard to find.
I bet the movie will be hard to find too.

I think Happiness is farely easy to find. Too, I like the scene where Bill tells his psychiatrist about killing people in the park. And the 'You Light Up My Life' I found touching, really.

't is a good transfer, oh yes.
I didn't like storytelling that much. 'fiction' was okay, but 'non-fiction' - NO !

this is one of the funniest movies ever...
I brought it to watch on the bus on our school trip to barcelona... I think it was just me, and a friend of mine who also loves it, that laughed; the others just got chocked by the sick stories... I think nobody dared to laugh at the scene where the dad tells his son how great it was to fuck his sons friend... thats funny! or...isn't it? is it wrong to laugh at that?

it's an absolutely brilliant picture. loads of black humour which i love. definately the best film by solondz...i didn't like "storytelling" much, but "welcome to the dollhouse" was really good.

happiness is excellent. welcome to the dollhouse is great as well. storytelling is good, but not nearly as nice as the other two, me thinks.

Bill: A professional? Joe: Hooker. You know, the kind that can teach things... first-timers, you know... break him in.
Bill: But Joe, he's 11. Joe: You're right, you're right. It's too late.
