Happiness for Beginners

Happiness for Beginners (2023) is an American romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Vicky Wight and starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes. Helen is a recently divorced schoolteacher who has no clear idea what she wants next — so she signs up for a grueling multi-day wilderness hike with a group of strangers.

The trail is hard, the company is unpredictable, and someone she didn't expect to see turns out to be along for the trip. Kemper makes Helen easy to root for precisely because she's a mess — anxious, funny, and genuinely trying to figure things out rather than just having a dramatic epiphany on a mountaintop. Easygoing and warm, with enough scenic wilderness and comic friction to earn its happy ending. Stream Happiness for Beginners online on iFILM.
