Fans of THE DISH might want to check out this delightful `David and Goliath' tale set in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.
Ignore the misguided poster on the video and give THE CASTLE a chance. If you're not hooked within the first five minutes, turn it off and save yourself the trouble - it's not your cup of tea.
But for those that are laughing their heads off in the opening scenes detailing the plight of the Kerrigan Family's `castle' - a gaudy yet lovably home next to a major airport - you're in for a ninety minute treat. Director Rob Sitch works magic with a minimal budget and a fine ensemble cast headed by Michael Canton. The screenwriting quartet of Sitch, Cilaur, Gleisner & Kennedy keep the laughs and the story fast and furious, while never losing sight of the fact that THE CASTLE is actually a clever parable on the importance of home and family.
If anyone tells you they didn't like this movie, `tell em they're dreamin'.'
