Three prisoners on a chain gang find themselves on the loose when their prison van overturns to avoid hitting an armadillo. Two of them--Jeremy Northam (An Ideal Husband, The Winslow Boy) and Steve Zahn (Out of Sight, That Thing You Do!)--steal an RV that turns out to belong to two junior-beauty-pageant promoters on their way to organize a pageant in Happy, Texas. When Northam and Zahn find themselves stuck in Happy, their only option is to follow through with their masquerade and put on the pageant. Unfortunately, the promoters are known to be gay, which complicates matters when both men find themselves attracted to local women--Illeana Douglas (Grace of My Heart, Cape Fear) and Ally Walker (While You Were Sleeping, TV's Profiler). The cast is uniformly entertaining, but it's William H. Macy (Fargo, Pleasantville) who really steals the show as the town sheriff with a secret of his own. Happy, Texas was an audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival but didn't do as well in wide release, probably because viewers expected a nonstop farce. But though the movie is a comedy, and a very funny one, its humor springs more from nuances of character than broad wackiness. The situations are a little predictable, but the performers--especially Macy--give it zest and genuine feeling. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Popular stars Steve Zahn (FORCES OF NATURE, YOU'VE GOT MAIL, OUT OF SIGHT), Jeremy Northam (AN IDEAL HUSBAND, MIMIC), and William H. Macy (MYSTERY MEN, A CIVIL ACTION, FARGO) enliven a hilarious comedy where a case of mistaken identity leads to a beauty of a con game! When escaped convicts Harry Sawyer (Northam) and Wayne Wayne Wayne Jr. (Zahn) are pulled over in the town of Happy, Texas ... while driving a stolen Winnebago ... they think they are being arrested. Rather, they're immediately welcomed as the vehicle's owners: a gay couple who've come to orchestrate the "Little Miss Fresh-Squeezed Pre-Teen" beauty pageant! Not ones to let a good con pass them by, the pair don't hesitate to adopt flamboyant new personalities ... and quickly meet with outrageously unpredictable consequences! With a great cast of stars playing an unusually offbeat collection of characters -- you'll be more than happy you picked up this laugh-out-loud comedy treat!
Customer Reviews:
Happy Texas...Happy customer!.......2007-03-13
I ordered this movie in VHS as I understand it is out of print now. It is just the most hilarious movie. I didn't know any of the actors but Tim Robbins. I saw this movie on television and had to have it. If you like to laugh...get this movie!!! Loved it!!! And it has a good story to it as well.
A Good movie for a Sunday afternoon..........2007-02-12
One of my favorite movies. Light humour and no violence. This a great family movie. An underground classic in the same stream of Happy Gilmore or Raising Arizona.
Get "Happy".......2007-01-04
Happy, Texas is a smart, funny movie that kept me laughing from beginning until the end. Starring William H. Macy (Fargo), Steve Zahn (Saving Silverman) and, Jeremy Northam(The Net), "Happy" is a classic mistaken identity comedy. Northam and Zahn play escaped convicts who, while driving a stolen Winnebago, are pulled over by the sheriff of Happy, Macy. Mistaken for the gay couple hired by the town to coach beauty pageant contestants, and given the keys to the city, so to speak, Zahn and Northam set out to scam the town and rob the bank. Happy features great performances by Ally Walker and Illeana Douglas and a suprising appearance by Ron Perlman. The characters in this movie are delightfully off-beat and the laughs don't stop.
Great for movie night, highly recommended for a good time.
great movie.......2006-11-10
this is a very funny movie, steve Zahn is his usual antic self, great supporting cast. can't keep this movie on my shelf, people 'borrow' and never return!
Couldn't Be Happier.......2006-11-06
"Happy Texas" is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has a good natured sense of humor, great performances by all the actors, especially Steve Zahn and William H. Macy, and to see the handsome Jeremy Northam act convincingly as an American convict, while remembering his many roles as an Englishman with an upper-class accent, gives a special buzz to the movie. The little girls of the Miss Fresh Squeezed Pageant are a delight. Both escaped convicts (Zahn and Northam) find true love and the promise of happiness, once they serve their sentences. The story is pure fantasy -- not the way life really is but the way we wish it could be.
Everyone with whom I shared this film truly enjoyed it. It's a pity the original distribution of this film was so limited.

vestal is a very good singer and right now i bet she is teaching angels to sing
Happy Goodman Family Blessing.......2007-08-22
If you are a Happy Goodman Family fan you instantly know it's them when you hear the opening strains of their songs. Each singer delivers a heartfelt love missle directly to their audience and simply blesses each listener with God's love. This awesome DVD showcases them at their best, and shows those who never knew them just what a blessing they missed.
