I liked this movie. It satisfied the first and most rigorous of my requirements: that it doesn't put me to sleep. It also has the virtue of being relatively short, running at slight under 1 1/2 hours. It has no pretensions whatsoever at being anything else but undemanding fun, which it is. Hidden depths - there are none.
There are lots of references to Crocodile Dundee, which are fun to watch for, and all the actors seemed to relish their roles. The gay couple, one of which had to pretend to be Emmy's husband, were a hoot, as were the mother and son publishers.
The ending, with everybody dancing in the street (and the formidable mother holding a chook) was ridiculous, and at the same time perfect for the tenor of the movie.
There's probably nothing in this film which hasn't been done before and better, but it's an enjoyable package, and a fun romp.
