Bill's tearful confession to his son at the climax, which also happens to be one of my favorite scenes in the cinematic lexicon, felt shoehorned in in retrospect. The film had some genuinely sweet moments. (I maintain that Jared Hess copied the scene of Allen and Kristina slow-dancing for "Napoleon Dynamite.") "Happiness" is a movie that deserves to be seen by more people. My two best friends will be joining me at my house for the weekend and they're going to watch it with me. I'm eager to see how they'll react.

Welcome to the Dollhouse seemed much meaner to me. Both hilarious and surprisingly poignant.

I think this scene was the whole point of that story. The boy is curious and has an open relationship with his father, who won't lie or talk-down to, or patronize. Consider that against the All-American meathead who wants to hire a whore for his 11 y.o. who he thinks he's "a fag."
After all, I thought that was the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. Incredibly well-acted.
