I get that the Get Happy movie message is you choose your happiness. We learn to program our subconscious minds to manifest happiness, every minute, every day. Part of happiness is managing pain from external causes. I thought the movie expressed this message particularly well, with enough twists and turns to make it seem realistic. Bobby was trapped by the cultural norm of fight, seeing happiness as ignoring rather than facing challenges. Then after Charlie solidified the message in his mind, Bobby finally saw the light, that part of happiness is managing pain, rather than ignoring it. Acting & directing seemed good as far as I can tell.
