Synopsis
Happy-Go-Lucky chronicles the daily comings and goings of 30-year-old Poppy, whose positive, easy-going outlook epitomizes the title. Poppy is a primary school teacher, who lives in London with her best friend Zoe. We follow Poppy through her daily routines--going clubbing with her friends, preparing exercises for her class, going to the chiropractor, and taking flamenco lessons. Nothing truly remarkable happens to Poppy, and yet, her boundless good cheer and childlike delight make her smallest endeavors incredibly engaging.

SIXTY-SIX
SHOW DATE: 10/5
SPEAKER(S): tba
Here's some information about the film:
Directed by Paul Weiland. Written by Bridget O’Connor and Peter Straughan. Starring Helena Bonham Carter, Eddie Marsan, Gregg Sulkin, Stephen Rea and Thomas Drewson.
2006 United Kingdom PG – 13. Running time 96 minutes.
Synopsis
Bernie Rubens (Gregg Sulkin) is a nerdy 12-year-old preparing for his Bar Mitzvah, which he wants to be a huge, ornate affair. However, his parents, Manny (Eddie Marsan) and Esther (Helena Bonham Carter), have accidentally scheduled it for the day of the 1966 World Cup final, so if England makes it, no one is expected to show for Bernie's big day. In the meantime, Manny, a depressed and depressing man unable to find any kind of happiness in his life, thinks the local grocery he runs with his slick brother, Jimmy (Peter Serafinowicz), can do battle with the supermarket conglomerate that has moved in next door. Once again, sad-sack Manny has made the wrong choice, leaving him with limited funds, unable to give Bernie the party he wants so badly. As England surprisingly starts playing better, Bernie begins rooting for his home team to lose; meanwhile, his breathing problems worsen, sending him to see Dr. Barrie (Stephen Rea), a big soccer fan who has some serious problems of his own.
