This film seemed to be shot during the pandemic and I wish more people created such pure and uplifting stories like this. So many shows for todays youth are dark, demonic and negative and during a time like what the world just went through, this little movie shines bright and allows the viewer to enjoy a simple yet entertaining premise and cute storyline. Young-Adult/Teen genre meets Hallmark in this sweet and scenic movie.

"Madison and the Happiness Jar" is a sweet tale of friendship, love and loss. The movie is delightful and it's a well formed story. I'm just so pleased there was diverse casting!! Asian male lead and other mixed ethnicities throughout.

I stumbled across the trailer to this on social media. The trailer was fun and told of a sweet story and the rental was only $3 on Amazon, so I decided to rent it. Madison and the Happiness Jar was not what I expected. That being said, it was not bad at all. I found myself smiling a lot, enjoying the landscape and soundtrack and overall message. I give this movie 8 stars. There are enough trolls out there giving movies 1 star for no reason at all.
