The main thing you need to remember with this movie is that it's not supposed to win an Oscar for best film, so if you go into the film expecting it to be the greatest thing to ever hit a movie screen then your simply going to be disappointed. Instead, go in for a laugh. It's a feel good instant classic with some very genuine characters. You'll recognise a lot of them from your daily life which really helps you relate to the film.
Basically the film has a very 'funny because its true' vibe therefore creating a very close relationship with its audience, making it very hard not to relax and actually enjoy the movie rather than analysing every thing thats wrong with it.
A huge positive for me was the great/true light it showed Melbourne in. It's always been a struggle of mine to explain to internationals why they should visit Melbourne, I wouldn't recommend any of the so called 'tourist attractions'. So having the film visit the races, grand prix, moonlight cinema, air balloons and some top night spots really brought the movie on a whole to a 9 star finish for me.
So if you want a fun night out and have a good sense of humour then this is the movie for you. Can't wait to see it again.
