DVD Review: ‘Another Happy Day’ Plunges Headfirst Into Familial Hellhole
Submitted by mattmovieman on February 9, 2012 - 10:18amCHICAGO – “Another Happy Day” is essentially the inverse of “Rachel Getting Married.” Instead of an unstable, self-pitying girl wreaking havoc on an otherwise pleasant wedding, we have a sensitive, otherwise pleasant woman driven mad by her unstable, self-pitying family…at a wedding, no less.
