It's one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, about love, life and surviving it. It's an introspecting movie, with tons of laughter. I have always had a thing for accents, and 60% of me loved it because of the accent. the rest 60% is for the way the story was told. (Yeah, I know, it adds up to 120..but who wouldn't give it that much rating!). It's a perfect movie for a lazy Sunday with family, or any day when you don't feel like going on. this is a constant cheer, and it tells you what to do, to take control of your life. Now, don't mistake it for a spiritual kinda movie. It opens your eyes on the ways of the society and how to tackle everyday issues.

Had nothing better to do and gave this a watch. No it isn't properly representing mental illness, but it is heartwarming and funny. Sometimes I think we get so wrapped up in what is considered correct and normal that we miss the point entirely. At the beginning of the movie you see a family that is just existing, they believe that they are nothing because that is what everyone tells them. Shaz comes along after the father can't cope with his daughters whom he has made no attempt to know. She changes everyone in the family and those around them gives them new perspective. Maybe they are fine the way they are, you don't have to fit the mold to have a happy and productive life. I was very moved by the general message of the film, very enjoyable.

i am making a list of every reviewer who gave this movie a positive review and marking them never to read again as they have nothing to offer me when it comes to recommending movies. i was shocked to find out that it was the same director as Muriel's wedding but i then read he also did my best friends wedding and on remembering that singing scene at the restaurant were they all joined in it made perfect sense.(i say a little prayer for you!CRINGE) i am just so glad i didn't waste my money and time seeing it at the cinema but i am sorry i read the first 2 pages of user reviews on this site as it is not until the 3rd page that the truth comes out. for the first time ever i nearly asked video ezy for my $5.95 back but its not there fault.

Having just watched the abominable Jurassic Attack, and its appalling acting / effects / storyline I sought light relief in this movie. As with much of Aussie Humour some of it can seem crass and even bizarre (think Black Sheep), this was no different and turned out to be way better than some reviews would have you believe.It is a very enjoyable, zany movie and the casting was very well done and they gelled perfectly it is difficult to pick out a best performance, the last movie I paid to watch was the Big Budget garbage 2012, and wanted to leave 10 minutes in feeling bad I paid to watch it, I would have left the theatre in a better mood if I had watched this instead.Watch, enjoy and have a laugh, our crazy colonial cousins turned out a beaut :)
