Fun Stuff

Trivia:

A subplot involving Susan (the girl behind the counter) and Matt (a worker at the hotel) was cut. Matt gives Melissa some boxer shorts that cost $20. She doesn't have the money, but he lets her go, saying that she owes him. Throughout the movie, Matt was supposed to pop up at inopportune moments asking for the $20. It seems Susan wanted a physical symbol of their love. Matt never gets the $20. They fight, and by the end of the film, he gets Melissa's necklace from Rick. Director Craig Rosenberg cut this subplot because it was not totally necessary. more

A surprisingly pleasant film to watch, 17 September 2000
Author: cinoches-3 (chye@mier.po.my) from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I have watched many films from Down Under and tremendously enjoyed most of them. Australian films have

a distinct "flavour"; probably part of it comes from the

accent!!! However, the title of this one did not even attract

me at first but I thought I'd give it a try after reading a short

review of the film in some magazine. And I'm glad I did. In

spite of all the "kitsch", it was certainly a good watch........it

actually left a pleasant aftertaste! In fact, it would not have

been as good without the "kitsch". Well played out by the

actors/actresses.....a memorable one being the piano player/hotel owner with his songs.
