Happy Birthday movie has been made with a good idea but the execution lacks maturity. The director fails in keeping the audience entertained all the time.
The first half appears passable as the narrative takes shape, and we are only getting introduced to the key Actors. The interval is alright and makes one eagerly look forward to what lies ahead.
The second half sadly fails to deliver. A few funny moments aside, there is hardly anything that works. We can see that a lot of effort has been put in, but the writing lets the whole thing down.
Too many characters don’t help the cause either, as the narrative feels all over the place. By the time one reaches the climax, it is exhausting. One wishes the whole thing to end soon.
One can avoid this movie. If it was a different director it would have been a different story altogether. You can forget about this happy birthday. There is no happiness for that matter.
