Mamie is being blackmailed. This filmmaker named Nick claims to know Mamie's son – the one she gave up for adoption – but Nick won't introduce her to him unless he can film the reunion. Enter Javier, Mamie's massage therapist boyfriend, who convinces Nick to film him instead. Now they're all making a movie about massage. And 'happy endings'... Charley has a longtime boyfriend named Gil. Their best friends, Pam and Diane, once tried using Gil as a sperm donor. They said his sperm didn't take, but Charley thinks those selfish, control-freak lesbians are lying. Pam and Diane's two-year-old son looks exactly like Gil. And it's time to set the record straight... Jude is pissed. Not at anyone in particular. Just in general. When her cousin kicks her out of the house, Jude shacks up with Otis, who's still trying to convince his father, Frank, that he's straight. Frank's a widower. And he's rich. So Jude decides to sleep with him, too. Really. The last thing she expected was to fall in love...

Happy Endings
__________

Director: Don Roos
Screenwriter: Don Roos
Distributor: Lions Gate Entertainment



Variety:
Festooned throughout with onscreen author's notes about his subjects' fates, the narrative sprawls without achieving depth and carries the additional burden of featuring only two or three interesting characters out of 10 candidates.

Screen Daily: The end result may not be an entirely happy mish-mash of piercing comedy and mushy pathos, but there are enough charged moments, scurrilous situations and appealing performances across its large ensemble and three interwoven narratives to keep the indie mainstream entertained.
