My first Aussie romantic comedy. Not bad
30 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I was very happy to see Peter Dinklage in a role, a supporting role that made this movie worth watching. Otherwise, it's pretty much a run of the mill romantic comedy, okay but nothing special. I found something distinctively different with an Aussie romantic comedy; that made me want to watch it. It a chance to view something not American and not British. The sub-plot involving Dinklage gives the movie a little class. He had the best lines and was the most believable player in the bunch; he got to kiss the very hot Megan Gale and his story was the only dramatic bit of the whole movie. This actor is an accomplished dramatic actor who in my opinion has played a few bit comedies 'for the mortgage" and unfortunately is better known for that and his diminutive 4'5" height. Actors of his size don't get too many opportunities like that. "Bad Santa" and Tony Cox come to mind. I picked this movie because I wanted to see a film with Yvonne Strahovski; she made a good impression on me in the movie "Killer Elite". Considering what I wrote about Dinklage and Strahovsky, I was satisfied with my choice. I liked it but it would be presumptuous of me to recommend it.
