Just how hard is it to be happy? In the effervescent new comedy from writer/director Mike Leigh (”Vera Drake,” “Secrets & Lies”), Sally Hawkins stars as Poppy, an irrepressibly free-spirited school teacher who brings an infectious laugh and an unsinkable sense of optimism to every situation she encounters, offering us a touching, truthful and deeply life-affirming exploration of one of the most mysterious and often the most elusive of all human qualities: happiness. Poppy’s ability to maintain her perspective is tested as the story begins and her commuter bike is stolen.

How this affects not only Poppy’s world view but also the outlook of those around her begs the question, “glass half full or half empty?”
