"Happy-Go-Lucky" tells the story of Poppy played by Sally Hawkins (who won a Golden Globe for the role)...a positively bubbly lover of life, people, and laughter. She's carefree. She's slightly flighty. And most of all, she's not at all concerned that you don't care for her shiny bright-eyed attitude. She just lives in an undeniably sunnier world than the rest of us poor schmucks do.
The film meanders through Poppy's life by introducing us to her friends, family, and most notably...her driver's ed instructor Scott, played brilliantly by Eddie Marsan. Scott is the antithesis of Poppy in every possible way. Their weekly driver's lessons are excruciatingly entertaining as the opposite poles of their overwhelming personalities collide over and over and over again. It's hilarious. It's painful to watch. Blimey, it's perfect acting.
Fun to mimic English accent factor: 7 out of 10
Quirky factor: 9 out of 10
Happy factor: 10 out of 10
Psycho driver's ed instructor: 10 out of 10
With all that it's fair to state that this is an odd yet lovable film.
