An award-winning, all-star ensemble cast is featured in “Hector and the Search for Happiness”, including Simon Pegg, Christopher Plummer, Toni Collette, Rosamund Pike and Stellan Skarsgard.
Based on the world-wide best-selling novel of the same name, “Hector and the Search for Happiness” is a rich, exhilarating, and hilarious tale from director Peter Chelsom.
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.

Access Hollywood calls the film “funny, delightful and moving — the feel-good crowd-pleaser of the year!” Pete Hammond from Movieline raves “Terrifically entertaining! Simon Pegg and Rosamund Pike are splendid!” And Jeffrey Lyons from Lyons Den Radio says “What a joy! It’s a must-not-miss for everyone!”
