ComingSoon can exclusively reveal the trailer for Happy As Larry. The new dark comedy about unexpected friendships also arrives digitally this festive season in the U.S. and U.K.
The Hugo Andre-directed movie clinched the Audience Award for Best International Feature at the Dallas International Film Festival. Happy As Larry’s summary reads, “A struggling London writer travels to the Isle of Skye to end his life but won’t follow through until he’s written the perfect final letter.”
“Hoping the landscape will bring clarity, his solitude is disrupted by Dale, an eccentric but warm local who won’t leave his side. As they journey through the mountains, Larry wrestles with his final words, while Dale’s humour and insight pull him back into the present, forming an unlikely bond.”

What do we see in the Happy as Larry trailer?
The Happy As Larry trailer opens with Larry (Calvin Crawley) in a scenic location, dealing with writer’s block. He reflects on how daunting it is to start writing on something that demands an infinite number of words. In the trailer, Larry also questions his own identity beyond his words.
While Larry is lost in thought, a man suddenly appears and startles him. The trailer then introduces Dale, played by Kevin Walls. Soon the footage shows how Larry sets up his tent. The one-minute 41-second preview gives a glimpse of their bond despite their opposing natures.
Sensing that something is off with Larry, Dale asks him directly if he is alright. Larry then tells him, “You’re sat next to a published author who’s been struggling to write a one-page goodbye letter.” Dale calmly replies, “Maybe that’s because a lifetime’s worth of thoughts and feelings requires more than one page, or maybe you’re just a bad writer.”
Alongside Crawley and Walls, the cast for Happy as Larry also features Hugo Andre and Izzy Harradine.
