This is a great night out - enjoyable and unapologetically feel good - part Bollywood; part Hollywood; part Strictly Ballroom; part Mary Poppins; part desperate housewives. Tight performances all round. Good music, good choreography - .This movie is not what you think - unlike Muriels wedding, Priscilla etc - it does not rely on audience nostalgia for well known songs. The songs/choreography are original and work. It will be a great pity if this movie is not well publicised and I really hope word of mouth will do the trick. Backers - publicists - don't shirk - this is a gem. I have heard three separate reviewers also give it the thumbs up. do yourself a favour and have some fun.
The trailer they made for this movie is a total winner. If only the movie lived up to that. It just did not translate as funny as the trailer. Still it was cute. The lead actress has a great voice. But the movie really is mostly singing with some story wedged in. It is shot beautifully. Everyone looks good. The countryside looks lovely. The idea is so good I wish it would of been a bit more of a comedy movie with some songs. But worth a watch online or DVD. I just did not realize this is really a musical. It feels like a Broadway show they translated to a movie. It is a cheerful upbeat movie that kids might like too.
The first time I saw this when it was released, I was in a different head space and I absolutely adored this little film.
Twelve years later it felt overcrowded.
Tasmania was photographed beautifully, I like the whales, I liked all the songs, I liked the singers and I liked the actors. But something doesn't sit right.
I think it was just all too much, somehow. Perhaps I'm not a musical fan. I still haven't watched Mumma Mia because I know I will despise all that over singing and noise.
I like the story plot. It wasn't quite comedy but more romance, which was fairly cliche. Maybe that's the problem. This movie was delightful but also one giant cliche. What a shame. It was otherwise potentially a 10.

We really enjoyed this charming feel good film. The characters, songs and performances combine to take you on a whirlwind journey that doesn't fail to deliver. Laura and Ronan are refreshingly natural and there is real chemistry between them. Magda is an absolute hoot and the film just looks and feels great.The music is especially enjoyable and it's great to see a musical with fabulous original songs rather than relying on a collection of cliché sixties hits or old number ones. This films feels original from the ground up and that's one of the reasons we liked it so much! As well as the leads there is a great supporting cast cameos that are truly delightful.
Watched this movie and was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it... great music,lovely voices A storyline with no violence,shooting etc which seems to be the norm these days... Beautiful scenery and shows off Australia very well. I am a resident of a retirement village and I often hear from the others that there are no movies 'out there' that they can enjoy. I will certainly endorse this movie for them to view and am sure they will all enjoy it as much as I did. The computer age has certainly brought the world onto our doorstep and of course this movie shows what can be achieved but that you do have to be careful about what you show on screen! Ambition is good but then so is family, you just have to know how to put the 2 together so they work in 'sink'
