Mister Happiness

Mister Happiness (Mister Felicità, 2017) is an Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM, about a born slacker who bluffs his way into a therapist's chair and turns out to be oddly good at it.

Martino would rather lie on the couch musing about life than work a day. But his sister urgently needs money for an operation, so he takes a job as a cleaner in the home of a successful psychologist. The moment his boss leaves town, Martino answers the phone, hears what clients pay per session, and decides to play doctor himself. Charm and nerve carry him at first — until he meets a tough case: Arianna, a gifted figure skater who refuses to step back on the ice after a humiliating fall. Then the real therapist comes home early.

Alessandro Siani directs and stars in this light, Naples-flavored comedy of errors with a warm streak underneath. Stream Mister Happiness (2017) online on iFILM.
