Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
johnfrf A film made locally and with largely amateur actors. One would normally have only moderate expectations, but let me say that these can be largely set aside, such is the impact of and standards set by this film. It tackles a tricky subject (testicular cancer) with due seriousness, and yet the story is told with such a lightness of touch and a degree of good humour that it makes for easy and entertaining viewing. The performances are such that one can readily forget that one is watching amateur players. For the most part the playing is convincing, with only the odd minor role failing to convince. Chris Hudson and Elizabeth Joyce Morris in the central roles are outstanding in delivering a witty script by Geoff Saunders, and Darren Scott's direction is remarkable for one new to film-making.
mcommons This is a really well made and well acted film about a serious subject (Testicular Cancer).The film treats the subject with humour, sadness, and seriousness in equal measures.It is a film that keeps the viewer interested and amused throughout but at the same time bringing home the message of the importance of self examination, follow up treatment, and the emotional aspects of all concerned when dealing with Testicular Cancer.Highly Recommended.
Sarah Don The subject matter for this movie is a taboo subject for men, this is a well written, directed and well worth a watch. There's moments of laughter and crying, the story tells you what could happen, it's not always the case but if people can learn from it. If one person watching it reguarly checks themselves and if finds something goes to there doctor it's message will have got across. Hoping people will spread the word once they've seen this film with a very real subject.
Clarke Pitts A comedy about cancer might seem unappealing but this is a warm and charming story well told.The leading lady presents a star turn, if you're not moved by the scene in the car, there's something amiss.I hope this film gets the wider audience it deserves.
