Happy Together (1989)
Happy Together (1989), a romantic comedy directed by Mel Damski, follows the story of Christopher, a serious young man from Chicago. As a freshman at college in LA, he is surprised to find that his roommate is Alex, a woman from NYC’s Park Avenue. The room is already filled with her belongings when Christopher arrives. Despite his initial shock at discovering his roommate’s gender, he tries to confront Alex about the cramped living space. However, she seems unbothered and explains that she moved in early due to a computer error and that the dorms are full. Though hesitant at first, Christopher must make the best of the situation as he struggles to adjust to sharing a room with the extroverted party-loving Alex who shows little interest in academics and demands attention at any given moment.
After their shared meal, which ends up being a bit of snacking at the grocery store, he becomes smitten with her. Showing his affection, he surprises her with a bouquet of helium balloons, but when he arrives at her residence, she speeds off on Slash’s motorcycle. He feels like she only sees him as someone to turn to when she needs something. They have very different personalities – Chris is a meticulous planner while she tends to act on impulse. During an art project, she starts a paint fight and they later engage in a game where they name musicals and finish the lyrics. Moving to the rooftop, they perform a musical number together. Both are told by others that their work lacks something – Chris in his writing and Alex in her acting.
