35-year-old Morris Bliss (Michael C. Hall) is clamped in the jaws of New York City inertia: he wants to travel but has no money; he needs a job but has no prospects; he still shares an apartment with his widowed father; and the premature death of his mother has left him emotionally walled up. When he finds himself wrapped up in an awkward relationship with Stephanie (Brie Larson), the 18-year-old daughter of a former classmate, Morris quickly discovers his static life unraveling and opening up in ways that are long overdue.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Without much actual character to latch on to, most of the actors seem lost and awkward, even the usually dependable Hall.
– Ian Buckwalter,
NPR,

rotten:
The kind of movie that gives a bad name to the concept of "quirky."
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,

rotten:
Striving mightily to be the indie equivalent of a wacky sitcom, "The Trouble With Bliss" fails to draw much humor from farcical situations.
– Kyle Smith,
New York Post,
23 Mar 2012
fresh:
The difficulties of adapting idiosyncratic literature to the screen are all too apparent in The Trouble With Bliss.
– Dennis Harvey,
Variety,

rotten:
Hall does what he can, but Michael Knowles' film does such a thorough job portraying the ennui and aimlessness gripping its protagonist that the feeling is contagious.
