How do I describe this movie? It's really hard. It was a really good movie, especially Sally Hawkins' performance, but describing what this movie is about is a toughie.
Hawkins plays Poppy, a perpetually happy-go-lucky (get it) school teacher who doesn't have a care in the world and is content with how she lives her life. She decides to take driving lessons from Scott, a complete hard-ass, and she just gets under his skin. The movie is not all happiness, but it is Poppy trying to find the silver lining in all that happens.
This movie isn't so much about acting happy, but it's about how other people see you and perceive your happiness to mean other things. The scenes during the lessons are the best and Hawkins probably should have gotten an Oscar nod for this.
