Not many laughs from the audience at tonight's screening in Sydney. I started losing interest in this film around the time it got to 'May'.
This is a mildly amusing comic drama about an average Aussie family and their year from hell. I found the film neither funny nor particularly moving. You'd think it would be considering it is about a woman battling back from an aneurysm and having huge doubts about her faith, relationship etc.
The script just isn't polished enough and secondary characters (the blokey brother in law and his trophy wife etc) were like cardboard cutouts.
The photography is unimaginative and the film seems dated, like it was made for television ten years ago.
Disappointing. Like many Aussie films, this one needed a few more drafts done before it was given the green light.
