I'm a discerning movie watcher and it's very seldom I'll laugh out loud at a movie. In fact I generally tend to avoid comedies, too contrived, so little depth.
But this one really tickled my funny bone. I absolutely LOVED the humour, so much of it understated and easy to miss if you lost concentration. By the end of the movie I was splitting my sides over the bonus bits during the credits.
This movie also made me proud to be an Aussie. The locations were sophisticated and avoided the clichés. The dialogue was zany and the humour off-beat.
Yes, the actors looked a little older, but I was star-struck by Rachael Taylor. Why haven't I seen her before? What an extraordinary talent.
I thought the movie was really well written by four comedy writers who clearly had a lot of fun in the process. I thought the acting was exemplary and the casting was nothing short of genius.
I've been so disappointed to hear it didn't make zillions at the box office, I'd have figured this as the perfect date-movie. Like many long- time classics, perhaps it will enjoy a long and prosperous future after a mediocre initial reception. Hopefully more people like me will unexpectedly discover it and tell their friends.
