I saw a friend I hadn’t seen in over a year who has been dealing with multiple health issues and chronic pain. What surprised me was she still maintained her lively tone of voice and spirit. I asked her what was keeping her so positive and she said it was laughter!
Afterwards I watched a new comedy called They Came Together because the trailer looked funny and it got a great review by Norm Wilner at Now Magazine (see review). And even though I was exhausted and getting over a cold the film made me laugh so much that it re-energized me immediately!
They Came Together (2014)
The romantic comedy film, They Came Together, is a parody of romantic comedies with Molly (Amy Poehler) and Joel (Paul Rudd) telling their story of how they met and fell in love. The movie is so packed full of stars and hilarious references and takes on countless romcoms that I knew 15 minutes into the story that I had to see it again! The humor was so loopy, kooky and smart though at the same time wonderfully stupid and weird! See: movie trailer
The film just has this underlying happy and fun vibe about it that I’m sure this will be one movie I’ll want to see when I’m feeling down. If this film isn’t your taste I highly recommend making a list of your favourite comedies. This will become your own personal “movie prescriptions” list for lifting your spirits up. Laughter is an amazing tonic to re-energize you when you need it most!
