Happy-Go-Lucky

Poppy is a generally positive and happy girl. She encounters all kinds of strange things and yet never seems to be nervous or frightened. Her personality just doesn't allow it. She decides to take driving lessons and her instructor is a pretty tight laced fellow. Driving lessons are very serious and not to be take lightly. The fact that Poppy is so cavalier about driving and that Scott is so uptight about teaching driving leads to a natural ongoing tension. This is a decent slice of life film where the tension is not so great as to make it serious. Unfortunately, the fact that it never really gets serious makes it also largely forgettable.
3 stars (out of 5)
