Happy Tear

'Happy Tear' is an Upcoming Hollywood movie directed and screenplay for which is written by Mitchell Lichtenstein. This Hollywood drama is A Talent Beach Prods. presentation of a Pierpoline Films production. Produced by Joyce Pierpoline, Mitchell Lichtenstein. Executive producers, Gregory Elias, Timothy J. DeBaets, Jonathan Gray. Like its title 'Happy Tear' it is a contradictory creature, both insightful and dumb, sometimes innovative and sometimes just plain inept. The movie stars Demi Moore, Parker Posey, Ellen Barkin, Christian Camargo. This Hollywood new release is slated to release on February 11, 2010. Musical background for this 95 minutes runtime movie is coined by Robert Miller and the movie is edited by Joe Landauer.

The movie traces the story of two sister Jayne and Laura (Parker Posey and Demi Moore respectively), who came to Pittsburgh and are not able to handle their elderly, irascible father Joe (Rip Torn). Sisters returning to their native place are forced to peep into their not-so-perfect lives while avoiding childhood memories. Laura suspects that Joe needs full-time care, but Jayne refuses to believe that their father's condition is that serious. Jayne's compulsion to escape reality only increases Laura's attempts to pull hard and fast her back down to earth. The lively widower Joe has a new ladyfriend shameless and sassy Shelly (Ellen Barkin).

Tensions flare as the close sisters must also juggle their own very different lives – Laura's busy environmentalist work schedule and mother of three small children, and Jayne, desperate to finally have a baby with her workaholic art-dealing husband Jackson (Christian Camargo). Sophomore outing for writer-helmer Mitchell Lichtenstein won't be able to count on the same horror fan base Lichtenstein's clever-stupid debut 'Teeth' had for backup, but handled right, 'Tears' could make adventurous distribs moderately happy, especially in ancillary.

After having a glance on the promos it's clear throughout, however, that Lichtenstein is better at writing than he is at directing. Picture has a good ingredients but they never quite emulsify, a result that's as much from slipshod editing as it is of Lichtenstein's shaky control over the preferences. Posey, who's portraying a brilliant thesp and sometimes a very irritating and mannered one, is allowed to overindulge her propensity for tics and twitches here.
