36. 'Happy-Go-Lucky' stars Sally Hawkins, Eddie Marsan

    Movie review The new Mike Leigh film, " Happy-Go-Lucky," is a real pleasure, and besides being Leigh's most buoyantly comic feature it's a marvelous showcase for Sally Hawkins, who has worked twice before with the British writer-director. Hawkins, whose squinty smile is one of the bright lights of the fall, plays Poppy, a grade school instructor. Her good cheer is so intense, when we first see her—riding her bicycle through the North London streets, grinning and waving—you wonder: Is she tetched? She's tetched, all right: tetched with the sort of positivism many Leigh films (though hardly all) tend to marginalize as a nearly impossible dream. In "Naked," David Thewlis portrayed an excoriating Manchester lout. "Happy-Go-Lucky" is the flip side of "Naked," an ode to the power of irrational exuberance.
