The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Just watch it. It improves - impossibly!- with each episode. Madcap, honest, touching, hilarious, romantic, never cruel, loving, never shallow even when it is. Every episode brings laughter, incredulity, love, dismay, disappointment, joy, tears - Nina's family is unlike any other, and exactly like the one you sort of wish you had.

Watched one episode from the first season of Offspring, and was immediately hooked. Net-binged the remaining episodes and went on to the others. I can certainly understand the outcry from Australian fans about a certain character. I was (am) right there with you! No one could possibly measure up after that departure. Chemistry between the two and his sexiness: OFF THE CHARTS!!! That aside, the characters and writing are fantastic. If they were real people, they would be the types I'd want as friends (although they are really over the line about being nosy - family and work staff alike). But the love and concern they have for each other is well done.I plan to buy the series - not something I do very often, unless I TRULY love a show. This one is certainly worth it, in my opinion.

Seven full seasons of this awesome, addictive Aussie series couldn't have come at a better time. Our protagonist, hardworking OB Nina Proudman, lives within shouting distance of her extended "nut bar" family members in a scruffy/trendy Melbourne suburb. She may remind you a bit of Elliot on "Scrubs"---gorgeous but socially challenged, "neurotic, often obsessive" (says her admiring boss, quite the nut bar himself) and frequently trapped inside her own head. The workplace comedy stuff is entertaining, the tale of Nina's search for love with a series of "moody, damaged" colleagues is quite relatable, and the show has lots of insightful things to say about the difficulties and rewards of family life. Plot lines are suspenseful and involving, sometimes melodramatic (casual sex often results in the titular offspring; season 5 is a lot more like "Parenthood" than "Scrubs" ), and the writers do resort to some shameless romcom shtick to keep things moving, esp. in the earlier episodes---panting lovers kept apart by doofy misunderstandings and cell phone glitches and whatnot---but I'm guessing you're not going to mind any of that very much. Btw, who- or whatever (primitive voice-rec software?) transcribed the CC doesn't have much of an ear for the elusive Aussie accent: "my way" (pron. "my why") comes out as "my wife" in the captions, "Tongan chick" as "tongue in cheek" and "feeling wretched" as "feeling rat sh*t."

When Offspring started in season one, we are introduced to Nina Proudman (Asher Keddie) who is a daydreamer and doctor at St Francis Hospital with her colleagues Kim (Alicia Gardiner), Zara (Jane Harber), Martin (Lachy Hulme) and her object of desire Chris Havel (Don Hany) but that soon ends as he is married which by season two we are introduced to her short lived romance with young registrar Fraser (Jay Ryan) before her realising her heart is meant for Patrick Reid (Matt Le Nevez). Her family life can be chaotic, parents Darcy (John Waters) and Geraldine (Linda Cropper) have divorced and Darcy became a father for the fourth time who the mother of the child Nina works with -Cherie (Deborah Mailman), younger brother Jimmy is an eternal young at heart while older sister Billie (Kat Stewart) can be neurotic. Life in Nina's world is never dull, whatever comes her way, Nina handles with class and dignity.
