Look, there is no real storyline in this movie. Its just a girfriend trying to find a guy in Australia. It plays like one really long scene. That's it. Just skip past the first 25 minutes, its totally awful and pointless set-up. But starting around minute 27, I thought the movie became an enjoyable watch because the characters were funny with their gag humor and I liked the all Australia setting/actor twist. I also turned the movie into a scavenger hunt game. Here are some suggestions to keep your interest: (1) Try to count how many times Justine Kacir slips back into her Australian accent; (2) Look up the New Zealand joke references; (3) Watch the scene background/settings for future vacation stop ideas; (4) consider how different Australian Christmas decorations/settings are from US ones; (5) See how many differences you can find between words Americans and Australians use to name something (like "thong") and (6) daydream about how fun it would be to re-create Ellie Parker's indirect flight around the world to get to Australia. Where would you go? There are others, but I don't want to spoil the movie.
