The boys can't help it either, 19 November 2004
Author: ptb-8 from Australia

Very funny technicolor-style 50s teen farce, LOVE IN LIMBO was released in 1993 in Perth and massacred by snarly local critics. As a result it staggered into other Australian cinemas briefly and unfortunately disappeared. The absolute joy of this charming fizzy pop movie is the lively comedy between the 3 main cast - the main one now being Russell Crowe in the part of a Scottish accountant-nerd, an acting stretch successfully far greater than anything else I have since seen him in, Oscars 'n' all. His flair for comedy is never been repeated as well as it is here; not that he is a comedian (except for VIRTUOSITY which is unintentional). Preceeding ROAD TRIP and American PIE by a full decade LOVE IN LIMBO recreates in Australia the on screen look of THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT and the leery loony fun of good natured modern teen comedies, but without the stickyness. A real find and a genuine delight. I hear a rumour a DVD might appear in the coming year. It will probably then find its much deserved market.
