The "one thing" in this case is happiness. We are all in search of it and when we find it, it never seems to stay too long. It's fragile and often out of our hands. That's roughly the point of this movie. Unfortunately this is probably the classic case of the parts being better than the sum. There are multiple stories going on at the same time and while they are generally interesting I didn't end up loving the film like I thought I would. If there is one thing that this film did well it was not to beat the viewer over the head like other movies have done (I am looking at you, Crash). Random observation: why did it take so long for us to realize that McConaughey can act? follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies
