Review: Katie Holmes Directs and Stars in 'Happy Hours' with Joshua Jackson: A Look at the Romantic Drama's Hits and Misses
Katie Holmes stars in and directs the romantic drama film "Happy Hours," alongside former castmate Joshua Jackson. The movie follows Liz, a photojournalist who reunites with her high-school sweetheart, Andrew, in Manhattan. As the two navigate their rekindled relationship, they face misunderstandings and awkward moments that challenge their connection. Flashbacks to their teenage years and interactions with supporting characters add depth to the story, but the contrived situations and lack of authenticity detract from the overall believability of the film. Despite the chemistry between Holmes and Jackson, "Happy Hours" falls short of delivering a truly compelling narrative.
