Hector and The Search for Happiness is a feel good movie that avoids feeling preachy at all times. [full review in Spanish]

In look and feel, Hector and the Search for Happiness is a cross between The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Eat Pray Love and is only marginally better than those films.

This film is a winner. It will not only entertain you, but also make you think about what it takes to bring happiness into your own life.

Staggering out of Hector and The Search For Happiness, I had the impression of having witnessed an unequivocal fiasco, a film no human being would be likely to enjoy.

Hector and The Search for Happiness wors because it's basically a "self-help" movie. [full review in Spanish]

The title character won't find what he's looking for in this woefully misguided feel-good comedy.

A movie bearing as faux-naive a title as this has to make a pretty good case for itself. This it decidedly does not do.

Full of good intentions and lessons, perhaps this was the reason to its great success as a book, but as a movie it fails entirely. [full review in Spanish]
September 26, 2014
A rancid, insulting, and cynical dramedy about a man who travels around the world to reconnect with his soul.

Potential peeps out occasionally in Hector and the Search for Happiness, but then flounders and gets lost in a bland sea of sentimentality and cultural myopia.

Hector may indeed learn that narcissism stands in the way of happiness, but he also walks away with his privileges intact and unchallenged.

While there's limited value in Hector's search for happiness and the dozen-plus "lessons" he learns about the emotional state, the film works nicely as a character piece.
