Get a Life, alright!

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.

A hilarious film, recreating a Bollywood-esque theme in a non-Bollywood world. Director Joy Hopwood has left her signature mark in this quirky, over-the-top romantic comedy; the story clearly making the distinction of what is morally right and wrong across a number of social contexts.

Dilshan Rain as Adarsh Singh was very convincing as the "villainous" brother, leaving audiences seething. And Aileen Huynh as Sarah Chen, gave another great performance, exuding warmth and strength in her role as supportive friend and diversity advocate.

A feel-good story that highlights the need for diversity within the Australian entertainment industry.

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.

This was on TV tonight. I had to give it a try because of the enormous disparity between the overall IMDB rating and the reviews here.

When I checked it was rated 2.8. Not many films are ranked that low. I took a look at the reviews, there were 11 of them and they were all rave reviews that rated the film with 9 or 10 stars. Quite a separation, don't you think?

So I thought let's see which is right. It did not take long. I must admit I did not get past the first 15 minutes of the film. The script was lame and predictable and the acting was far worse.

I can only assume that the other reviews were written by people involved the production, or their friends and families, Avoid this one like the plague.

This is such a lovely story by Joy Hopwood, whose talent in choosing and casting the actors results in this gorgeous film. The actors are so credible and have a great connection with each other - beautifully matched. Comedy runs through the movie which adds another dimension to the tale of love and there is always a message in Joy's films. Life is short - you only one road to walk, so make the most of it!

The music is so appealing and the characters deliver authentic roles which keeps you wanting more and more.

It is highly recommended. You come out feeling happy! Highly recommend it! Joy is a star!
