"Ellie Kemper's Heartwarming Journey to Happiness in Netflix's Rom-Com 'Happiness for Beginners'"

"Happiness for Beginners," a Netflix romantic comedy, attempts to blend sitcom and drama elements but falls short, resulting in a stilted and uneven film. The story follows Helen (played by Ellie Kemper) as she embarks on a wilderness survival course to recover from her divorce. While the film explores themes of self-discovery and romance, it fails to fully develop the protagonist's character and her relationship with Jake (Luke Grimes). Despite some sweet moments and beautiful scenery, "Happiness for Beginners" lacks focus and fails to deliver on its promising premise.
