Win Happy Go Lucky on DVD
RRP: £19.99

From one of the UK’s most respected writer-directors, Mike Leigh, Happy-Go-Lucky stars Sally Hawkins (Little Britain, Vera Drake, Tipping the Velvet) as Poppy, a consistently cheerful primary school teacher, who doesn’t let anyone or anything get her down. A free spirit, she is open and generous – as funny and anarchic as she is focused and responsible.

Happy-Go-Lucky is set in contemporary London and follows Poppy’s adventures as she goes about her daily life, living with her flatmate Zoe (Alexis Zegerman). A friend to many and an eternal fun-lover, Poppy is one of life’s sunny and relaxed characters. For example, when her bicycle is stolen, she simply regrets that she didn’t get the chance to say ‘goodbye’ to it.

The incident prompts her to learn to drive, and Poppy starts trying to spread some sunshine over her new driving instructor, Scott, played by Eddie Marsan (Vera Drake, The Illusionist). He’s having none of it, though – the grumpy, aggressive neurotic Scott is the complete antithesis of Poppy and their relationship provides lashings of laughs.

The movie sees Poppy confronting some of life’s harshest realities and dealing with them head-on, while never losing her wonderful sense of humour. Life-affirming, fresh and funny, Happy-Go-Lucky won a Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival.
