A Saturday evening "film night" choice and, as they used to say on BBC Film Programme - why not?
Unexceptional script, with no American or Australian cliche left undone, acting, well sort of I guess, plot utterly predictable. Isn't comedy supposed to make you smile at least - not just wince with embarrassment. No sense of scale in the Aussie sheep station, and a First Nation lesbian mother thrown in, apparently to make the diversity numbers up. (I have nothing against either First Nation Australians or lesbians, but the character was entirely unnecessary otherwise!). Oh and I left out the random darts match (no idea if it is common or even vaguely probable for Hispanic American women from California suddenly to reveal a love of darts!)
Oh and the unexpected twist at the end - don't bother there isn't one. Watch paint dry instead, it will be more involving!
