I Love You Too

I was pleasantly surprised by this Aussie comedy when I saw it on a plane flying home to Sydney. There is a continuous tingle of surprises coming up in every scene & all the actors deliver that special warmth that comes from good movie direction and consistent acting. There is a wonderful sense of reality in the plot that shows a man who is finally able to understand how to grow up and face the fact that if he leaves his family home & his dinky-die mates he will be OK.

Sure, he may need to work hard to keep the new found girlfriend's touchy-feely relationship & hit upon true love with his special girl but in the end he finds it is worth the hard yards. The part played by small person Peter Dinklage (from "Death at a Funeral"-UK & USA versions) is particularly delightful & adds a certain touch of sparkle to the whole movie. Try & see it if you can.

Australia doesn't produce many rom/coms and while I Love You Too is just another romantic comedy on a wider spectrum, it is a refreshing little delight on a local level. The story is cute. The performances are great (Peter Dinklage is fantastic) and the gags hit the spot. I really really enjoyed this movie and think its the best of its kind since The Big Steal (which also featured Steve Bisley). Peter Hellier has written a smart little movie with a lot of heart. The little revelations throughout are really nice and the movie is well worth watching. The miniature railway setting is a nice touch too.... (Eltham Mini Railway... LOVE IT).

I saw this film on a flight from Darwin to Canberra so I'm assuming it was modified for the flight (I am pretty sure there was a lot of swearing removed). I was going to pull the plug after a few minutes of Peter Hellier. Normally I think he's funny, but not as a movie actor. It turned into a great and funny Aussie comedy once Charlie was introduced. I just wonder if they should have had Megan Gale's name in the opening credits. It would have added a little more mystery to leave it to the end. Otherwise I would go out and watch it again when it comes out on DVD so I can see the bits which were cut. At the beginning the main male character had me thinking he was a jerk, but after the reason for his reticence was explained it all made sense.

This is a tragic comedy of a contemporary Australian suburbia, in which bonking a pub-met-stranger is a unisex very normal life-style advertised.

There is something sweet in this movie depicting in general a local environment expertly also, in spite the common perception of sexual activities locally, the most of unknown males-in-twenties in streets met randomly revelled their virgin status predominantly-long distances and public transport jumps contribute to down-the-earth socialising between persons unfamiliar.

It is nice to realise, that my research is perfectly testified by movie makers emphasizing on the lacking of human warm and communication as the very issue for "egalitarian" Australians.

You will never ever know if you never ever go.

Watch and enjoy a fairytale of lost in time and space people adult legally.

I think Australian movies are fantastic. I loved this movie. It was Aussie and funny and my opinion is that anything Brendan Cowell is in is going to be good. People seem so used to these polished over American movies that we're fed that they forget we have a fantastic, under-appreciated film industry right here in Australia. And then they complain and say Aussie movies aren't funny because they're waiting for the canned laughter to show them when it's funny. Personally, I couldn't stop laughing! I loved the humour, I loved the random cameos (Angus Sampson was hilarious, as always), and Brendan Cowell was so ditzy and open that you couldn't help but laugh. Loved it!
