No porn, no foul language, just solid Australian comedy from Melbourne, 5 August 2004
Author: penguin2212 from Melbourne, Australia

I attended the world premiere at the Melbourne Film Festival on spec and was most pleasantly surprised by this movie. Financed by a philanthropic local and filmed entirely in Melbourne, it is very much a local story. The acting is never less than very good and in a couple of cases it is quite excellent. The quality of picture and sound is well up to the best Hollywood sitcom standards and the whole show ran like clockwork.

Unusually in this age of excess, there is no foul language, brutal violence or pornographic sex. The dialog is full of wit and plays to Australian tastes with some good English rhyming slang, (which is very much part of modern Australian English), and even a taste of Jewish deadpan humor, which should go down well with Melbourne's large Jewish community. I will not give anything away about the story except to say it has a number of hilarious effects and twists that were well received by the enthusiastic audience. I think this film will appeal strongly to the younger set (16 - 45) but there is something for everyone. It should be a hit on the DVD rental market, not just in Australia but I could see good prospects in the UK and the substantial market for British / Australian comedy in America. Try it, its fun.
