If you would ask me to name one of the most disappointing movies I have seen in the last ten years, I could reply without hesitation.
The answer would be for sure Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) by Mike Leigh.
It got raves when it first came out and it has been a huge item in my "movies to catch up" list for years, and when I saw it, at last, I was not impressed at all.
Not because it was such a terrible movie itself, truth to be told, but probably way more because of the high expectations I had for it.

unsolicited requests, other people's assumptions...

The only two things I liked about it were:
- the scenes about the flamenco classes (but that's a story for another day);
- the truly carefree and easy-going attitude of the main character, Poppy, as played by the amazing Sally Hawkins. Happy-go-lucky indeed.
I suppose everyone would like to have the same kind of relaxed attitude and quick-wittedness in spite of difficult situations, blockers, problems, challenges, interruptions, or other types of disruption.
Fiction aside, where are we good at it already, in real life?
Where can we be proud of our coolness and resourcefulness, no matter how stressful a day can be?
