Watch it.... trust me.

Simon Pegg puts out one of his best performances in a film that questions what it really means to be happy. Name a movie that doesn't make you joyful when Pegg is involved? But this film is different, it ties to many emotions that audience can relate to. Rosamund Pike is also making a comeback in the biz which we should notice from this film and Gone Girl, which could(should) earn her an Oscar. This is a great journey film that does not match it's IMDB rating.

9/10

You lied, expect about the rating not matching. 4/10.

The one saving grace of the film was Simon Pegg. The director keeps the film bobbing cheerfully along by smart overreliance onPegg's comic affability and mild bewilderment as an Englishman Abroad. Stretched as an actor well beyond anything required of him in the Star Trek or Mission Impossible series, he is an appealing presence here, radiating a sincerity he hasn't shown to date.
