I like movies where the main character runs away from his life by traveling. Luckily, a few movies like this have appeared in the last few years and so it seemed like Hector and the Search for Happiness didn’t have to turn out disappointing. But it did. The actors were great. Simon Pegg, Rosamunde Pike or Jean Reno have taken this one level higher. But the search for happiness itself was worse. The movie has put two different approaches on trial. One is a search for power, other one for happiness and the little things in life. But the examples, be it Asia or Africa, were put together so awkwardly that instead of enjoying a genuinely honest movie, I was frustrated, because the movie just wasn’t genuinely honest. And no matter how hard the charming Simon Pegg tried, he couldn’t fix my mood.

The points are mainly for Simon Pegg, who I just love. He's good in every role. Plus, here he's both humorous and nostalgic, which he's great at. But the story is just a concoction of films like Forrest Gump or The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The story could be interesting if it wasn't so small and simply about finding happiness. Maybe I shouldn't have seen Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl because I still see her as properly crazy.
