You can't just tell actors, especially young ones, to 'act happy' and expect them to do it. They must in some essential way be happy.

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.

Mad Dog Time is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time. Oh, I've seen bad movies before.
