The charm of it all wins us over, and while we watch the tired old twists and turns, we smile anyway.

[Jeff Balsmeyer's] playing it safe causes this beautiful opportunity of a film to crash just when it seems destined for the stratosphere.

In a sane world, this utterly charming, sweet little fantasy of a movie would boost Rhys Ifans to stardom.

One randomly recruited audience member directly behind me -- let's call him the Shouter -- exclaimed, 'That's tight!'

Balsmeyer may remind you of the guy at the party who, after one too many shots, puts a lampshade on his head. It's funny for maybe a moment -- until you realize, to your horror, that he doesn't know when to stop.

The easygoing humor and uplifting messages -- that it's never too late to turn your life around -- are welcome, especially in the September movie doldrums.

Takes a good premise -- one that's based on real-life events -- and turns it into a tired and overly familiar sitcom.

Delivers the uncomfortably condescending message that these eccentric salt-of-the-earth folks ... need this Sydney slacker to tell them how good-hearted they are.

As for the charm factor, I can't think of any screen couple this year with more of such an elusive quality than Ms. Otto and Mr. Ifans.

Top Critic Nothing more than the same rom-com clichés you've seen a thousand times.
09/09/04
Unlike its main character, it never quite achives lift-off, but it is a pleasant little diversion with some very sweet moments.
09/05/04
Nicely shot, quaintly romantic, it is tuned to the Australian taste in matey malarkey.
09/03/04
Like Danny, the movie seems up for anything, and that relaxed joie de vivre charms in the movie's second half.
