MegaasAlexandros Just watched this movie first time since watching at the cinema as a new release. This is easily one of Australia's best films although somewhat forgotten behind other big hits. Easy to follow quirky and houmourous storyline with funny scenes from start to finish. Perhaps losses a half star due to some unrealistic scenarios but a definite watch if you love Aussie cinema. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Great show. Ben Mendelsohn was always a great performer. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Perhaps it was my age when this first came out, or perhaps its just a great Australian film, but I watched this a lot when I was a young'un. On VHS no less. Re-watching it many years later, it's clear to see why Claudia Karvan became a star and surprisingly I was shocked at how much I'd overlooked Steve Bisley's brilliant performance. It's dated in parts but generally, its a great little film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Before the days of "The Castle" there was this 1990 film featuring a youthful Ben Mendelsohn and Claudia Karvan. Shy teenage 'every-boy' Danny Clark wants to impress the girl of his dreams so he tells her that he has a Jaguar motor car when he asks her out. She agrees to go out with him and now he has to buy the jag and thus begins the roller-coaster plot. Nostalgic yes, but only barely a comedy. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member On Monday Danny Clark (Ben Mendelsohn) is the reluctant recipient of a birthday present he would rather forget, his father's old Nissan Cedric. By Tuesday he has asked the beautiful Joanna Johnson (Claudia Karvan) out on a date... only problem is, he promised to pick her up in a Jaguar. In a tight fix and desperate to impress, Danny trades the Nissan Cedric in for a Jaguar only to be ripped off by a dodgy used car salesman, Gordon Farkas (Steve Bisley). With his mates in tow and revenge on their minds, Danny sets out to rectify wrongs and finish his dream date better than it started. also stars Marshall Napier, Tim Robertson, Angelo D'Angelo, Maggie King, Frankie J. Holden and Roy Edmunds. directed by Nadia Tass. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Average film, few funny moments but incredibly slow. Very 'fluffy' Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
