Sympathetic

OK, nothing high-budget-action-suspense here. Not even an attempt to be unpredictable and original.

Still the movie gives one that warm feeling.

In spite of all the pour routine-wise producing, the bad (very bad) music and some poor side characters, there seems to be some sincerity hidden in there somewhere. Grant Bowler is a totally new actor to me, I'ld like to see more of him, and the little girl is doing a superb job. (though it's outrageous to claim she's just nine years old) Chis Haywood seems to be overdoing it a bit. His character would do well if the film were just for children, but now makes the film loose credibility.

A combination action, comedy, drama film

Caught this little gem by accident, well worth a watch. Involves an advertizing agency, split of male partners and the departure of a wife. Agency as a partnership had a top client book but in splitting grant bowlers character has run out of money due to the corrupt machinations of his accountant, chris hayward, al be it with bowlers knowledge of the scam in bonds. In order to regain some fiscal stability Hayward says he has some "investors" with money and there would be the oppotunity to skim some cash off the top. A leading heart surgeon is looking to set up a trust to advance the cause of heart transplants. Hayward arranges to set up the trust and meets the "investors" The young girl waiting for a new heart is used with the reluctant agreement of her mother (Roxanne)in a promotion of the trust etc. There is then some great action poinant Humor

All Star Australian Cast

This is a quirky Australian independent movie with a big heart. It is a wonderful opportunity to see so many excellent Australian actors of the 90's generation on screen in the one film.

Jerome Elhers fans will be happy to see him on screen again in a cameo role. Jerome is sadly missed by fans of Australian screen.

In fact Change of Heart has a bunch of excellent cameo performances to enjoy including the irreplaceable Mr Tony Barry, Chris Haywood, Pippa Grandison, Felicity Price, Bob Faggetter, Fiona Mahl and John O'Hare.

For fans of Australian film and television Change of Heart is an unexpected treat.
