Get a Life, alright!

What happens when you have a rom-com with no real romance, no real comedy, and a script that feels like it was written in one afternoon? You get Get a Life, Alright!

This film tries to sell itself as a charming behind-the-scenes tale of fame and falling in love, but it lands with all the finesse of a high school drama assignment. The dialogue is cringeworthy, the plot painfully thin, and the characters - if you can even call them that - are so one-dimensional they might as well be cardboard cutouts. Every twist is predictable, every moment drenched in cliché.

It's baffling how something with such a strong claim to diversity and industry insight could feel so hollow. There's no tension, no spark, and absolutely no reason to care. The title says it all - this film needs to get a life, alright. Or at least a rewrite.

I watched this on AACTA streaming and thought that this was a charming and funny indie film.

The concept was definitely individually crafted with an amazing imaginative but uplifting vibe that translates onscreen. Being a lover of romantic comedies and musicals, this film is a saver on my faves list.

I have now researched this filmmaker and can see that she has a slate of films that I have now tracked online.

I hope that there will be many more films like this as our film industry needs more women (and men) filmmakers who champion diversity and have a vision that is broad and inclusive. I can see this one making the mainstream soon.

Thanks to all involved who made my viewing a feel good experience that leaves me in a good state of mind. Everyone who watches this must be open minded and just embrace its individuality.

Brilliant local work from emerging Australian based filmmaker Joy Hopwood. The cast works really well together and features a wide range of diverse and interesting characters. I really liked the songs created for this film, great lyrics and well executed.

It was great to see such a variety of actors come together for this project, there are quite a few stars in there that will be worth watching out for in the future. Special shout out to Aileen Huynh who stole the show.

Admittedly this production is working with quite a limited budget but it's incredible what the team has been able to create. Well worth a look to support the local industry.

Had a good time hearing all the songs. The actors had good chemistry and the pacing was fast.

It nice to see the director put her heart into this. Her sense of humour shows in the film. Anyone who wants a quick romantic comedy will like this.

Such an uplifting, feel good movie. I love the fun story and great cast. I love the Indian family and how Sarah supports her best friend Tessa. We need more films about female friendships like this one. The brotherly love is cool too. It tugs the heart strings but in a light hearted way.

Such an amazing indie film with a great message and a unique take on modern love. We need more films like this. The Indian dancing and songs are so catchy. West meets East! I look forward to the next film. It's a hidden treasure! I wish I saw this on the big screen.

Will this make it on the big screen again? If no please let us know.
