Simon Pegg is Hector, a psychiatrist with a perfectly organized life. His girlfriend Clara (Rosamund Pike) keeps everything running like a clock and together they are quite the couple. However, Hector is feeling that his over-organized existence is lacking something. He doesn't feel that he is happy and he certainly isn't making his patients "better". Hector decides to go on a journey in the search for what makes people happy. He travels to some crazy places and gets into some hilarious predicaments. Will he find the secret to happiness or realize that he had it all along?

I wasn't expecting much from this movie. I drug Trainer Joe along because he is on an eternal search for happiness, but that is another story... We both really enjoyed the movie. It was funny and sweet. And at the end, when Hector had to wear the Helmut of Feelings, it really made you think about what is important to you. (And, we decided that if Joe ever put on the helmut, it would explode.) Very entertaining and much better than anticipated.
