HAPPY, HAPPY -- " RACY LOVE IN THE SNOW"

 

 HAPPY, HAPPY - SMART AND FRESH MOVIE

TALK ABOUT MISERABLE PEOPLE – Two couples get together. One couple leave the big city (France) to find a new life in the country. They found a house where is snows pretty much all the time. Each couple has a son. One couple’s son (the city folk) adopted a black boy. The white kid likes to make up games. He makes his black buddy act like a slave. That part of the movie is not funny.

However, there are some really good chuckles in 

this movie. The couple that owns both of the houses hasn’t had sex with each other for a long time. Turns out her husband, is a closet Gay. He try’s to kiss the husband of the other couple. Yes, I know it’s confusing.

The Husband (the straight hunk) in the rental house is more interested in the woman who married the Gay Man. His lifestyle is to run around naked in snow up to his knees. The Danish have so much fun – and don’t mind freezing to death.

The infidelity turns the couples against each other. The sneaking around days now over – the Rental couple moves back to France and the snow bound couple stay in the snow. Only difference is that the Gay Man moves to the Rental Unit and his wife and son live in the other house.

The Nuanced performances keep you intrigued. Of course the best thing about the movie is the sexual steam. It just about melts the snow.

RATING: THREE BOXES OF POPCORN!!! –trademarked-
