Low vote but a classic Australian flick
23 February 2005 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

This film was a delight to anyone that has watched Australian Cinema from the days before commercialism. To not borrow from my native vernacular, because it can offend, it pokes fun at itself - a humour north Americans will find a little difficult to figure out. If you don't go looking for anything serious, you'll find this film a little uncut gem.

Leo McKern is simply a delight, with borrowed glimpses of Rumpole. Dame Joan is wooden, but obviously draws some benefit from her staged-operatic experiences.

Barry Otto has played better roles, but is well suited to the almost dodgy conservative and Noah Taylor and Geoff Rush team up again and play very funny parts. If you're Australian or a Brit you'll probably like this film in spades, if you're an American, you'd probably not get it apart from the fact that the Australian actors speak good English. PS humour has a u in it - OK!
