Check it out! Also, Happy-Go-Lucky will be one of the main films at the Toronto International Film Festival this year. In the effervescent new comedy from director Mike Leigh ("Vera Drake," "Secrets & Lies"), Sally Hawkins stars as the unforgettable Poppy, an irrepressibly free-spirited school teacher who brings an infectious laugh and an unsinkable sense of optimism to every situation she encounters as a single woman in London. When Poppy's commuter bike is stolen, she signs up for driving lessons with Scott (Eddie Marsan), who turns out to be her polar opposite -- a fuming, uptight cynic who takes himself extremely seriously. As the tension of their weekly lessons builds, Poppy's story takes alternately hilarious and serious turns -- careening from flamenco classes to first dates--becoming a touching, truthful and deeply life-affirming exploration of one of the most mysterious and often the most elusive of all human emotions: happiness.
