Thanks for the memories!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

This one started out somewhat slowly, and -- as everyone seems to agree -- really got rolling when Peter Dinklage came along, but from there on I was really engrossed. Yes, some facets could have used more polishing; perhaps there were just too many characters and situations to fully flesh them all out satisfactorily, but given the genre-transcendent nature of the movie itself, it actually doesn't seem troubling to have a loose end here and there. Life is nothing if not occasionally sloppy and unpredictable.The 3 "hot chicks" (rendered in quotes by me because it's a cringe-inducing cliché, not to evoke sarcasm) were quite lovely, and Alice so much so that it was difficult to imagine Jim truly waffling over her. She was too charming for that. Still, by the time the story played out, it made at least some more sense, and Jim did win me over eventually.My one major complaint was that Jim's friend didn't explain to Alice what had really happened in the friend's place. (I'm leaving it vague to avoid spoiling it; if you've seen the movie you'll remember.) I don't understand that, and I don't understand why nobody else is complaining about it, either. Perhaps I missed something. As of now, I feel like that omission was for plot purposes, and it doesn't ring true.Aside from that, I really enjoyed this movie a lot, especially Dinklage's typical show-stealing performance and the winsome heroines. There are some really good laughs and a lot of pathos here. 8/10.

This is a tragic comedy of a contemporary Australian suburbia, in which bonking a pub-met-stranger is a unisex very normal life-style advertised.There is something sweet in this movie depicting in general a local environment expertly also, in spite the common perception of sexual activities locally, the most of unknown males-in-twenties in streets met randomly revelled their virgin status predominantly-long distances and public transport jumps contribute to down-the-earth socialising between persons unfamiliar.It is nice to realise, that my research is perfectly testified by movie makers emphasizing on the lacking of human warm and communication as the very issue for "egalitarian" Australians.You will never ever know if you never ever go.Watch and enjoy a fairytale of lost in time and space people adult legally.

I was pleasantly surprised by this Aussie comedy when I saw it on a plane flying home to Sydney. There is a continuous tingle of surprises coming up in every scene & all the actors deliver that special warmth that comes from good movie direction and consistent acting. There is a wonderful sense of reality in the plot that shows a man who is finally able to understand how to grow up and face the fact that if he leaves his family home & his dinky-die mates he will be OK. Sure, he may need to work hard to keep the new found girlfriend's touchy-feely relationship & hit upon true love with his special girl but in the end he finds it is worth the hard yards. The part played by small person Peter Dinklage (from "Death at a Funeral"-UK & USA versions) is particularly delightful & adds a certain touch of sparkle to the whole movie. Try & see it if you can.

I think Australian movies are fantastic. I loved this movie. It was Aussie and funny and my opinion is that anything Brendan Cowell is in is going to be good. People seem so used to these polished over American movies that we're fed that they forget we have a fantastic, under-appreciated film industry right here in Australia. And then they complain and say Aussie movies aren't funny because they're waiting for the canned laughter to show them when it's funny. Personally, I couldn't stop laughing! I loved the humour, I loved the random cameos (Angus Sampson was hilarious, as always), and Brendan Cowell was so ditzy and open that you couldn't help but laugh. Loved it!
