Get a Life, alright!

Had a good time hearing all the songs. The actors had good chemistry and the pacing was fast.

It nice to see the director put her heart into this. Her sense of humour shows in the film. Anyone who wants a quick romantic comedy will like this.

This is such a lovely story by Joy Hopwood, whose talent in choosing and casting the actors results in this gorgeous film. The actors are so credible and have a great connection with each other - beautifully matched. Comedy runs through the movie which adds another dimension to the tale of love and there is always a message in Joy's films. Life is short - you only one road to walk, so make the most of it!

The music is so appealing and the characters deliver authentic roles which keeps you wanting more and more.

It is highly recommended. You come out feeling happy! Highly recommend it! Joy is a star!

I watched this on AACTA streaming and thought that this was a charming and funny indie film.

The concept was definitely individually crafted with an amazing imaginative but uplifting vibe that translates onscreen. Being a lover of romantic comedies and musicals, this film is a saver on my faves list.

I have now researched this filmmaker and can see that she has a slate of films that I have now tracked online.

I hope that there will be many more films like this as our film industry needs more women (and men) filmmakers who champion diversity and have a vision that is broad and inclusive. I can see this one making the mainstream soon.

Thanks to all involved who made my viewing a feel good experience that leaves me in a good state of mind. Everyone who watches this must be open minded and just embrace its individuality.

This was on TV tonight. I had to give it a try because of the enormous disparity between the overall IMDB rating and the reviews here.

When I checked it was rated 2.8. Not many films are ranked that low. I took a look at the reviews, there were 11 of them and they were all rave reviews that rated the film with 9 or 10 stars. Quite a separation, don't you think?

So I thought let's see which is right. It did not take long. I must admit I did not get past the first 15 minutes of the film. The script was lame and predictable and the acting was far worse.

I can only assume that the other reviews were written by people involved the production, or their friends and families, Avoid this one like the plague.

Brilliant local work from emerging Australian based filmmaker Joy Hopwood. The cast works really well together and features a wide range of diverse and interesting characters. I really liked the songs created for this film, great lyrics and well executed.

It was great to see such a variety of actors come together for this project, there are quite a few stars in there that will be worth watching out for in the future. Special shout out to Aileen Huynh who stole the show.

Admittedly this production is working with quite a limited budget but it's incredible what the team has been able to create. Well worth a look to support the local industry.
