A woman (Ellen Barkin) attends her son's wedding at the estate of her ex-husband (Thomas Haden Church).

Critics Consensus

Another Happy Day features outstanding performances (Ellen Barkin's especially) but the characters are too unpleasant to endure.

Levinson piles on the anguish with such abandon he never convinces you that these people would ever speak to each other, much less live under the same roof.

3/4

Combines some of the stock elements of a family film with an extra something - a go-for-the-jugular quality, a kind of Ingmar Bergman-like honesty and viciousness that brings it up a notch.

2.5/4

"Another Happy Day" becomes increasingly difficult to watch, despite its intelligence and strong cast. You wish this family well, but you're grateful to see the last of them.

1/5

Supposedly, Another Happy Day is meant to be a dark comedy. Unfortunately, demanding it is comedic on the box does not make the actual film so.
