The Flip Side

I saw this as part of the oz film festival in London. What a lovely film. Well made, great direction, good script and acting was spot on. Made me homesick for Adelaide.

What a waste of everyone's time. This film is so bad, it defies description.

The acting is bad, bad, bad, especially from Henry's girlfriend Sophie. Have you ever heard a French person speaking English as a second language?

No trace of a French accent at all.

Henry just looked too old to be a hot movie star.

The part about Veronica's boyfriend writing a book where a spider falls in love with a woman was so ridiculous and then Henry suggests changing the spider's role to a man and that is somehow "interesting". Henry who hadn't even read the book, decides to make it into a movie. Seriously?

The obligatory kangaroo shows up of course, plus a boomerang just in case you didn't realise it's an Australian film and then to top if all off, a kangaroo "aggresses" one of the characters.

If you value your time, don't waste it on this piece of garbage which was nothing but a waste of colour film.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. After reading such poor reviews, I didn't expect much, but found it to be rather good. The awkwardness between the players I judged to be the natural state of two couples pushed together, who don't know each other. Not to mention the natural trepidation on Ronnie's part, of being forced to be nice to someone who broke her heart. Izzard maybe could have made a little bit more of an effort - you're not that good looking Eddie. You really need to try and act a bit too! Go and see this and make up your own mind. The Southern Australian backdrop makes a pleasant change from the usual locations used in movies, and the plot line is unusually refreshing. I found myself having no idea how it would all turn out, but the ending was lovely.

I dont understand how this film is fit for cinema release? It is the most unfunny comedy I have seen recently. Not to mention zero chemistry with the cast, appalling cinematography and no sound design at all. Basically everything you would want to go to the cinema for. why oh why?!

For a low budget film, kudos to all involved with this film. If you're an Aussie film fan it's a must watch, if you think a good film is a Hollywood block buster give it a miss. Much talent accompanied with some good Aussie humour.
