Good bits, but not many, 9 February 2005
4/10
Author: Tony from Sydney

They were asking for it, so for the first half hour I was comparing it to Muriel's Wedding and thinking how bland it was. Then I tried judging it on its own merits, but found that really hard going because the merits were few.

Sacha Horler is a great actor, but you could see the agony on her face, realising that she was stuck in this film. Rebecca Frith was great too, but the two lead actors, playing the bride and the mother, were embarrassingly awful. I remember Val Lehmann because of Prisoner, but as for the bod who played the bride I'm grateful that her name escapes me. They didn't seem to understand the meaning of what they were saying. Worse than cardboard.

The script had a few good moments, and a few intriguing plot developments, but I got the feeling that they wasted the opportunities. I think I'd like to see the play - performed without Val Lehmann and that other one - to find out if it worked any better.
