“Taking its stylistic cues from its wild leading lady, this daring and darkly-hued comedy matches its subversive laughs with genuine heart. ”~FILMINK

Aroview: A chaotic attempt to recapture the zany family dynamics of MURIEL'S WEDDING, with Toni Collette playing a westie shiela recruited to babysit the family of a politician whose long suffering wife has suffered a mental breakdown. Nutty and a little grating at times, this nonetheless sustains an impressive madcap energy throughout.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) Uneven but there are many good bits that can't be ignored. Being a comedy it would have benefited by being shorter. LaPaglia is fine but the ladies (young and old) take the plaudits. Collette is terrific as usual with Kerry F in an unusual role for her. ~Tubbs
