Well that's 1 hour and 25 minutes of my life I won't get back! This story has been told much better before, and not just the once in varying formats. I struggled to sit though this as the performances were weak, stunted with no depth to them. I can honestly say I have cared more for a prawn salad than I did any of the characters and I don't like prawns! The only likable character was the daughter and even her acting seemed in places forced and frankly wooden. This wreaked of low budget and really didn't need to as the script in places was OK, not moving or Oscar worthy but alright for a rom com or was this supposed to be a 'dramady' it couldn't make up it's mind for the most part. To be honest I didn't laugh once so perhaps this was just supposed to be a drama but then I didn't find it moving or engrossing either. I think they were telling the age old story of boyfriend shags girlfriend's mum and relying on the 'god I never saw that coming' shocker (even though it was coming at you like a train from the outset) to carry this entire flop of a film. In my opinion and it is only my opinion, don't tell a good story half heartedly after all you wouldn't make war and peace using punch and judy. If you want to watch this story being told properly watch The Graduate and see real acting and film making or go 80's for a different slant and watch Class but spare yourself this two bit punch and judy show its a rotten tomato from me I'm afraid. Ps I am not denying the male lead Jonathan Sadowski is handsome but those eyebrows - wow they were very distracting, I kept thinking of Danny La Rue all the time!
