Ellie Kemper’s career high water mark was the delightful, quick and witty series “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” created by Tina Fey and probably the funniest series Netflix has yet produced.
So it’s no surprise that she’d want to return to the scene of her greatest triumph . But “Happiness for Beginners” isn’t a series, it’s a rom-com. And it wasn’t created by Tina Fey, but by Irish writer-director Vicky Wight and her Irish co-writer Katherine Center. Suffice it to say neither is Tina Fey. That’s a pretty high bar to clear.
What they cooked up for Kemper is a role that doesn’t play to her stand-by strengths, that gee-whiz “innocent” and “naive” thing she rode through “The Office” and 52 episodes of “Kimmy Schmidt.” She’s older, so the girlish goofiness is gone, replaced here by an over-sharing, somewhat embittered 40ish divorcee who thinks a long group-hike along the Appalachian Trail in Connecticut and New York will be just the reset her life needs.
