Movie #486 "Happy Tears" is a well acted movie about two sister who have to do with their ailing father --- doesn't sound like much, but make the sisters Demi Moore and Parker Posey and the dad Rip Torn who has to wear Depends and you have a whole bunch of possible comic moments --- and they appear. It's independent quirky like a film should be, and it's well acted by a wonderful ensemble crew. I liked it, but there could have been more action. And the best scenes are between the two sisters, for sure!
I rate it a 3.5
