Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine80 - The trailer lead me to assume the film to be a light comedy; instead, I found myself pleasantly surprised to find the film expressed some truly thoughtful, philosophical gems along the way.

Sober Film Critic James Brown47.6 - I don't profess to be an expert on happiness. Still, I would expect to walk out of Hector and the Search for Happiness overcome with joy or some other emotion. After all, the film is all about self-examination and should make moviegoers think on what puts a smile on each of their faces.
