In a world with so many problems, it's hard to drum up any sympathy for these characters' profligate self-destruction. Nov 4, 2004 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

LaPaglia is solid and there's a grittiness here, and a clear-eyed approach to alcoholism that's reminiscent of Leaving Las Vegas. Oct 22, 2004

What you'll remember most about the movie is its banal script and dialogue so ripe it almost laughs at itself. Oct 22, 2004 | Rating: 1.5/4

The characters in Happy Hour are stick figures from a musty old teleplay that might be titled The Days of Wine and Malarkey. Oct 21, 2004 | Rating: 1.5/5

The premise of the ever-soused movie is solid, too bad the execution is anything but. Nov 19, 2004 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

First-time writer-director Mike Bencivenga and co-writer Richard Levine have a flair for brittle repartee, and an obvious affection for literate drunks, but their take on the drinking life feels antiquated and movie-derived. Nov 4, 2004 | Full Review…

Drama of a self-destructive, boozing New York ad man would reek of cliche were it not for a virtuosic performance from Anthony LaPaglia, who still fails to make this small film big. Nov 2, 2004

Happy Hour is strictly college-level compost, content with its mediocrity, if not wholly unaware of it. Oct 29, 2004 | Rating: 1/4
