劇情簡介
HAPPY IS NOT HARD TO BE follows the lives of a diverse group of family and friends in Los Angeles, whose paths intersect at a time of personal turmoil and uncertainty. Reflecting the discontented melting pot of Los Angeles itself, this modern family struggles to find harmony when new and old faces enter their lives. NIKKI is living in the shadow of the country's foremost expert on happiness-her mother, MAGGIE-and blames her lonely and miserable existence on a woman who finds happy escape at the end of a marijuana pipe. Her younger sister, CHRISTINE, remains blissfully ignorant to worries and problems, even when her ex-husband, BOAZ moves back into town with a beautiful new wife, RUTH, in tow. Boaz's reunion with his old friends and family in Los Angeles throws Ruth's life into turmoil as jealously fans feelings of isolation in her new surroundings, which is not the paradise she thought it would be. At the same time, Christine and Nikki's playwright brother, FLINT, contends with commitment issues that threaten to drive away his long-term girlfriend, LISA. Defining the love between them becomes even more difficult when Flint reconnects with his ex-lover and muse, LOLA. All of his anxieties in this complicated triangle are on full display in his latest theatrical creation, starring Lola's sexually permissive roommate, ALEX, and the young ingénue GUY. Alex's firm separation of sex and romance, both on and off the stage, is in complete contrast to Guy. He naively offers nothing but love and support to his older cynical girlfriend, CHLOE, no matter how cruel she is to him. Bringing together all of these characters' insecurities is Flint's avant-garde play to commemorate the "Year of the Family". Much to his loved ones' chagrin, Flint draws deeply upon the personal stories of those around him, as he pushes the envelope of performance to create his own unique, artistic vision of what binds them together, not seeing what the result of his words will be. Once all of the fears and weaknesses of their circle are exposed, it is up to each of them to figure out how to hold their lives and one another together.
在洛杉磯，快樂並不難跟隨不同家庭和朋友群體的生活，他們的道路在個人動盪和不確定的時期相交。反映出洛杉磯這個不滿的大熔爐本身，當新舊面孔進入他們的生活時，這個現代家庭努力尋找和諧。NIKKI生活在美國最著名的幸福專家的陰影下，她的母親MAGGIE將她孤獨而悲慘的生活歸咎於一個在大麻菸斗末端找到了幸福的逃生之路的女人。她的妹妹克里斯蒂娜對煩惱和問題一無所知，即使她的前夫波阿斯帶著一位美麗的新婚妻子露絲搬回城裡。波阿斯在洛杉磯與他的老朋友和家人重聚，這讓露絲的生活陷入了混亂，因為她嫉妒地在新環境中煽動孤獨感，而這並不是她想像中的天堂。與此同時，克里斯汀和尼基的劇作家兄弟弗林特（FLINT）也面臨著承諾問題，這些問題可能會趕走他的長期女友麗莎。當弗林特與他的前情人和繆斯女神蘿拉重新聯繫時，定義他們之間的愛情就變得更加困難了。在這個複雜的三角關係中，他所有的焦慮都在他最新的戲劇創作中充分表現出來，由洛拉的性放縱的室友亞歷克斯和年輕的英格內伊主演。亞歷克斯在台上和台下對性和浪漫的堅定分離與蓋伊形成了鮮明的對比。他天真地向他憤世嫉俗的老女友克洛伊提供愛和支持，不管她對他有多殘忍。弗林特為紀念“家庭年”而創作的前衛戲劇將所有這些角色的不安全感結合在一起。讓他所愛的人非常懊惱的是，弗林特深深地借鑑了他周圍人的個人故事，他突破表演的界限，創造了他自己獨特的藝術願景，將他們結合在一起，而沒有看到他的話會有什麼結果。一旦他們圈子裡所有的恐懼和弱點都暴露出來，他們每個人都要想辦法把自己的生命和彼此的生命維繫在一起。
