A well made British (2014) feelgood movie. The main character is an English psychiatrist who leads an extremely well-organized and perhaps boring life.
A mid-life crisis makes him question his usefulness to society and he decides to search for the definition of happiness, which, when acquired, will presumably allow him to be of more use to his patients.
So off he goes, leaving his sympathetic girl friend behind, on a quest which brings him in three continents where each time he will find adventure and learn nuggets of wisdom from some unlikely sources.
In the happy ending, he realizes that he truly loves his girlfriend and swiftly returns home.
The story is fast-paced and never boring or cheesy while making some mildly interesting points on what might make humans happy. Thus, very entertaining and well worth watching.
