Writer-director Don Roos ("The Opposite of Sex") once again has sex on his mind. But not just the act itself. He wants us to consider the consequences of sex in all its permutations: parenthood, adoption, abortion, sperm banks, "See, I'm not gay" sex, lonely guy sex, guilty sex, user sex, casual sex, even romantic "You're the one I want forever" sex. "Happy Endings" isn't as lusty as all that sounds. It's more about characters than couplings. Read the full review

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: B
"... lithe, clever, thoughtful, well-acted and certainly entertaining."
Austin American-Statesman: 1 of 5 stars
"If only the film possessed more substance, less self-aggrandizement."
The Palm Beach Post: B-
"Frequent slide-in titles comment on the action in a way that soon grows tiresome. As an early one notes, this is a 'comedy ... sort of,' and the movie hangs together, sort of."
