Rating: - Australian romantic comedy worth watching
Another twist on the one that got away. Before 2005's Just Friends this 1997 Aussie comedy reveals the two brothers who yearned for the same girl. One won her and the other became a workaholic to soothe his loss. Ten years later at a seedy motel the girl returns from England with her fiance only to spark the teenage love rivalry all over again. Can fate get any funnier?
Rating: - One of my favorites....
I meant to see this movie when it came out, and I never did, but then a couple of years later, I saw it in a video store, rented it and fell in love with it. It's by no means perfect, but I loved how things didn't quite come out as expected for any of the characters. Yes, they're quirky, outrageous, etc., but they are very human.
Best of all, I loved how one of the main female characters sticks to her guns and follows her dreams, instead of waiting around for one more man. *He* has ... Read More
Rating: - A movie of spirit & heart that gets me every time.
This is a movie that I would put in a very special category. It may not be the most well made, or well acted movie. It certainly doesn't have the best script.

Now on to the plot. The story revolves around twin brothers Stephen and Rick Dunne. Both brothers fall for the same girl when they are ... Read More
Rating: - Woody Allen meets Paul Hogan...
Be forewarned--this Aussie charmer may unexpectedly blindside even the most cynical of viewers...only the clinically dead will fail to fall under its spell. In some ways, this is a gender-switched version of "Hannah And Her Sisters" with its themes of romantic competition between two brothers; the bickering elder parents (the morbidly hypochondriac Dad gets to mutter some of the choicest and most hilarious lines under his breath); the age-old debate of whether destiny plays a part regarding whom ...

Rating: - A very pleasant surprise
I rented this primarily because Saffron Burrows was in it, and she's just so beautiful I frankly didn't even care what genre the movie was -- it could have been action, sci-fi, horror, western, drama, whatever. It is a really fun romantic comedy, though, and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. The seventies music in the soundtrack worked well, and the subplots were enough to keep you involved. Think of this as sort of around the same tone as "Picture Perfect", but with more ... Read More
