Happy Days put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

Hot Take: Happy Days's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Happy Days performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Happy Days actually is?

Look, I wanted to love Happy Days. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Happy Days?

Director clearly thought Happy Days was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Happy Days is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of Happy Days and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
