Not Another Happy Ending
After discovering that his only successful author (Karen Gillan) has writer's block because she's too happy, a publisher (Stanley Weber) tries to inspire her creativity by making her miserable. The only trouble is, the worse he makes her feel, the more he realises he's in love with her.

That convention-flouting title misleads: this winsome affair lags lamentably close to the modern romcom average.
October 10, 2013
Ultimately worth seeing thanks to a charming lead performance from Karen Gillan, strong comic support from Iain De Caestecker and a handful of decent gags.

Brit romcom about writer's block has brief nudity, cliches.
October 08, 2013
McKay's film often feels like Richard Curtis-lite for the New Girl generation - minus the jokes and memorable characters.
October 11, 2013
The film's ending was indeed a happy moment, but not in the intended manner.
July 04, 2013
A trifling comedy about writer's block that aims for a blend of Richard Curtis-style cheeriness and arch literary satire, and winds up mostly drawing a blank.
October 11, 2013
Contrived, manic and unfunny the film also flounders because of the lack of chemistry between an awkward Gillan and a wooden Weber.
October 18, 2013
The cast gives it what they can, but they are underserved by choppy direction and a simplistic script that never breaks the surface.
October 10, 2013
This may look like a rom-com, with its obvious plotting and over-cute characters, but it's eerily lacking any actual romance or comedy.
July 03, 2013
Impeded by a weak script and poorly-drawn characters, Not Another Happy Ended is an all too often muddled and unsatisfying affair.
October 08, 2013
This Scottish romcom is a great advert for Glasgow, but it delivers an awful warning to filmmakers about shooting a script that's seriously unready.
October 09, 2013
It may not have the bite of a Bridesmaids, but in Gillan's sparky performance there's enough to keep you engaged for the duration.
