Description

"The Trouble With Bliss tells the story of 35-year-old Morris Bliss (Michael C. Hall), who is clamped firmly in the jaws of New York City inertia. He wants to travel but has no money; he needs a job but has no prospects; and he still shares an apartment with his widowed father (Peter Fonda), who treats Morris with a mix of disdain and exasperation. When he finds himself juggling a bizarre relationship with the sexually precocious 18-year-old daughter (Brie Larson) of a former classmate (Brad William Henke) and the advances of his very forward neighbor (Lucy Liu), Morris begins to realize that even though his life is unraveling, it’s also opening up in ways that are long overdue."

  • Why was Hall cast in this??????

    This movie was slow and anti-climaxtic. Its only redeeming feature was Michael C Hall, and why he took the part, God only knows - it did nothing for his career. Plotless, boring - even Hall can't save it. WHY would he take this role?! It is unusual, I will give it that. It goes off on tangents that are seemingly unrelated to the plot and unrealistic given the storyline; wow, what a disappointment.

    This is a quirky and interesting little film. I say little only because it's an indie film done on a small budget. The cast is first rate; and they tell an interesting story here. But, be careful this not an action film; there is no CGI; this is a people story. And anyone who likes those kinds of films will find things to like about this film.
  • Boring at best

    I am not really sure what other people saw in this, but we turned it off half way through due to boredom. It was painful at best

    Don't waste any money on this - really bad, really boring. Trying to be cute a quirky but just stupid. A waste of good actors.
  • A Great Movie Worth Seeing!

    I had the opportunity to see "The Trouble With Bliss" before opening weekend and could not wait for it to become available for everyone to see! If you are a fan of Michael C. Hall, Peter Fonda, Lucy Liu, or any of the other great cast, you will love this movie! Michael Knowles directs this charming story so well that you will want to watch it over and over again. Don't believe me? Watch it yourself!
