Funny, Touching and Totally Bizarre
27 May 2005
My wife and I were channel surfing and came across stop at this film when we saw Kathy Bates' face. We are big fans of hers. As the film progressed we were pleasantly surprised at the ability of screenwriters P.J. Hogan and Jocelyn Moorhouse to weave an intricate tale that was both meaningful and a bit silly. Leave it to a couple of Australians to make a movie that addresses love, gay issues and singing without being preachy or stupid. Meredith Eaton was fabulous. I had never seen her before but I will seek out her other films. If you liked the film Little Voice, you'll love this one. The celebrity cameos were hilarious. There were moments that were absolutely surreal but did not distract from the message of the story which is tolerance for people who are different. This is destined to be a cult classic. I can actually imagine seeing this in a theater where the audience reacts to it in the same way that they react to The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
