Small Texas Town Lives Up To Its Name
Happy Texas is one of the greatest comedies you’ve probably never heard of. Shot in just 29 days on a shoestring budget, this film’s acting, directing, script and comedic timing are so clever and incisive that it has attracted an almost cult following, especially among Steve Zahn fans.There are plots within plots that all pull together in the end to make a perfect film. Starting with escaped convicts (Wayne Wayne Wayne played by Steve Zahn and Harry Sawyer played by Jeremy Northam) who have to hide and steal an RV belonging to two gay pageant designers, to discovering the gay lifestyle in a small Texas community (Happy), to finding love in the arms of a doe-eyed banker (Ally Walker …sorry for the cliché, but she really does have doe-eyes), this movie hits on all aspects of life and puts a hilarious spin on them.
The greatest things about this film were Steve Zahn’s acting while trying to teach pre-teen girls how to dance, and William H. Macy’s stunning performance as Happy’s town sheriff who comes out of the closet.
Always sharp, incredibly funny, superbly paced, this movie’s small budget belies its excellent acting and directing.
Few films will tickle your funny bone as perfectly as HAPPY Texas. Watch it. Buy it. Live it!
A satisfying, feel-good film with great “just plain folk”
Whether you’re a good guy or a bad guy, in Happy, Texas you’ve got heart. Though the plot gets wacky, the “just plain folk” element keeps the craziness in check. It’s really refreshing to finally see a film with gay characters that aren’t in drag or snapping their fingers. It IS possible to have a funny gay character without being flamboyant. Sure, there is a lesson to be learned as in most films, but we care about these characters as they get deeper and deeper into trouble. I had a big smile on my face after watching this film, and it stays with you a while. How many other films give you a gift like that?
