The novelty of this Australian working class comedy of manners is that sexual orientation is not a probelm. Father and gay son (nicely played by Russell Crowe) enjoy the kind of warm, amiable relationship thast's unheard of and unseen in American films

There are noble notions here, but the film is far too heavy-handed to realize them fully.

Sexual orientation aside, it's the kind of film that can have you looking past family member faults and focusing on what's important.

A second look reveals everything wrong with the movie, but on first pass, it's well-performed and enjoyably crafted.

Effective translation of a theatre piece. Russell Crowe's best performance.

An excellent Aussie effort with ripper performances from Crowe and Thompson
