Details
Happyish is a 2015 movie that follows Thom Payne, a middle-aged man who receives the gift of insignificance on his birthday, along with a new boss. Thom becomes suspicious that his ED pills are interfering with his anti-depressants, leaving him without happiness in a society obsessed with materialism and selling out.
Set in a culture that celebrates youth and success at any cost, Thom finds himself struggling to maintain his ideals and happiness. His new boss, Jonathan, is a younger and more aggressive executive who promotes a ruthless and cutthroat approach to advertising. Thom's attempts to resist compromising his values and authenticity in the name of profit and success become a central theme throughout the film.
As Thom navigates his personal and professional life, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with the shallowness and emptiness of the pursuit of happiness. The movie delves into thought-provoking questions about finding true fulfillment in a society that places so much value on productivity and material possessions.
With witty humor and poignant moments, Happyish offers a candid and satirical commentary on contemporary culture and the pursuit of happiness. It explores themes of authenticity, mental health, and the pressures of societal expectations. The movie serves as a reminder to viewers to challenge the status quo and reevaluate their own definitions of happiness and success.
