Relativity has released the domestic trailer for the comedy Hector and the Search for Happiness [HECJR] on Apple. Though based on the bestselling novel of the same name, the film starring Simon Pegg [SPEGG] comes across like a British version of the recent The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
Hector (Simon Pegg) is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara (Rosamund Pike), he feels like a fraud: he hasn’t really tasted life, and yet he’s offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier. So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results.
Hector and the Search for Happiness begins stateside on September 19th.
