Happythankyoumoreplease is a 2010 comedy-drama film written and directed by Josh Radnor in his directorial debut. The film stars Radnor, Malin Åkerman, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Michael Algieri, Pablo Schreiber, and Tony Hale, and it tells the story of a group of young New Yorkers, struggling to balance love, friendship, and their encroaching adulthoods.
happythankyoumoreplease premiered at the 26th Sundance Film Festival in 2010, where it won the Audience Award and was further nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. On March 4, 2011 it was released in theatres throughout Los Angeles and New York.
A story of relationships, happythankyoumoreplease deals with the struggles facing several pairs trying to find their way. The film centers on Sam (Radnor), a writer, and Rasheen (Algieri), a foster care child, who meet each other when Rasheen is abandoned on the subway. The film comes to also involve Sam's best friend Annie (Åkerman), an Alopecia patient trying to find a reason to be loved; his cousin Mary Catherine (Kazan) and her boyfriend Charlie (Schreiber), a couple facing the prospect of leaving New York; and Mississippi (Mara), a waitress/singer trying to make it in the city.
Radnor wrote the film while working on the first and second seasons of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. He then had actors read for roles, wrote revisions, and sought financing for two years. Radnor received financing in April 2009 and began shooting in July 2009 in New York City, after six weeks of pre-production. The film was selected for the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered on January 22, 2010. It won the audience award for favorite U.S. drama.
Myriad Pictures bought the international distribution rights for the film. The publisher Hannover House bought the North American distribution rights, but they were later acquired by Anchor Bay Films.
