The Happiness of Others (French: Le Bonheur des autres) is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Jean-Philippe Pearson and released in 2011.

[2] The cast also includes Germain Houde, Stéphane Breton, Isabelle Vincent and Normand Daneau in supporting roles.

There is the germ of a great idea lurking somewhere deep inside the first feature written and directed by Jean-Philippe Pearson but that good idea is smothered by a screenplay that's terminally flawed...First off, any movie that wastes the talent of someone as gifted as Marc-André Grondin has much to answer for.

Jean-Pierre is such a jerk you don't for a minute believe someone as beautiful, smart and poised as Evelyne would spend a night with him, let alone form a family with him.

Le Breton is pretty good - as always - but it just had me dreaming of the day this fine actress finally nabs the meaty big-screen role she deserves.
