Simon Pegg plays the title role as a psychiatrist that travels the world to seek out what truly makes a person happy. Pegg is absolutely wonderful, displaying layers and nuances in his performance I didn't actually think he was capable of, while Rosamund Pike is as always irresistible. Chelsom wisely plays down the fish out of water moments and instead focus mainly on the characters studies and what it all means, while remaining playful with bits of animation and miniature set pieces. Unfortunately the film is weighed down by schmaltzy simplicity and life lessons that are easier said than done but in the end the good feelings can't be denied no matter how fleeting they may be.

Pegg looks different than usual. He looks like a Pegg uncle or something.
