The Flip Side

Nothing specific, just weak in general Sometimes a movie is not that good. The movie was not worth my time.

I chuckled all the way through this film and enjoyed spending time with the characters. It looks great and it's a buzz seeing the South Australian locations looking so fresh. I think this will appeal to women more than men and I wonder if some of the negative reviews were by men as the film skewers male foibles and vanities rather nicely. On reflection I'd say it's a sort of comedy of manners for suburban Australia.

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.

Really enjoyed this feelgood love Australia film. Diverse characters, original story and kept my attention all through. Lesson for me, dont always go by the reviews.

I saw this when screened on TV, so it didn't cost me anything to view it. Low budget. Independent style film (when you think about Top Gun: Maverick, $170 million USD, 1000 people involved, one article states 2820 side jobs) with some nice shots of Australian scenery, the actors are decent at their craft (keeping in mind they aren't there for the viewers they attract with the dollar signs on the cheques pasted on their heads {HOLLYWOOD]). It was an interesting story although not utilised as well as it could be. I didn't feel like it was a waste of my time, enjoyed it, but, I am Australian and perhaps some nuances of it would be lost on those that aren't say British, Australian, New Zealand, perhaps Canada and South African. I also write that in acknowledging that it's nice to see an Australian movie, not enough are made, and it's a refreshing alternative to the cultural invasion of big budget, low effort, low intelligent tripe that we get from Hollywood/USA in every format - cinema, television, music, literature.
