Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

plutus1947 This movie is tremendous, then its a cheap movie from Australia and I have yet to see a bad Aussie movie no matter how inexpensive it was to make.SPOILER BEGINS The movie is about frustrated housewife Elspeth Dickens trying to run her household and bring up two exasperating twin boys while her husband James is away in the Antarctic trying to save the whales.Elspeth harbours a not so secret wish to be a singer.When hubby goes back to his whales she gets herself connected to the Internet and sings 'Kitchen Sink' songs to her webcam which uploads to YouTube. Her singing is performed in her kitchen, hence 'Kitchen Sink' songs.Needless to say her performances goes viral.Very quickly a big corporation realises Elspeth is a goldmine and wants her in their employ.SPOILER ENDS For what happens from then on you will have to watch the movie to find out.Although made in Australia the two main stars were English and Southern Irish.Elspeth was portrayed by the wonderful actress Laura Michelle Kelly and her husband James by Ronan Keating of the musical group Boyzone fame, who showed us that he is not only a great singer but a more than passable actor too.Two others that definitely deserve a mention are Magda Szubanski, an Australian girl who may be better known for her portrayal as Esme Hoggett in Babe and Babe in Pig City.Also another Australian actor who rightly deserves credit is Hugo Johnstone-Burt who plays Ralph. He also may be better known as Constable Hugh Collins in the wonderful Aussie crime series Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries.All played their parts admirably A special mention must be made about Bryony Marks for the fantastic music and lyrics.Two more who helped to make this movie so wonderful are twins Levi and Phoenix Morrison who play Elspeth's twin sons. They were wonderful but incorrigible. Please don't bring them to my home (Lol).This movie has been likened to Mama Mia. Mama Mia was an absolutely wonderful movie and stage show but in some respects I believe Goddess was better because the songs and music were new.Goddess also started life as a musical.Go on spoil yourselves and get the DVD, cuddle up, turn the lights down low and enjoy this great, great movie.

mis_metal I just watched this film while folding all my laundry and I loved it!! What a fun loving and enjoyable movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon. This film is clever, witty and understanding of a full time mothers struggles, triumphs and moments of doubt. I love the moments of a movie that are full of honesty and genuinely give you a good laugh and this film begins with one!! Full of wonderful Australian actors and a few of our fair nations beautiful sights and cities. The honesty I spoke about is evident throughout the entire film while following Elspeth on her journey to stardom. 'Goddess' is just an all round feel good, entertaining and funny movie:) I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt colourful film :)

hbateman-633-684387 What a great movie. I'm still singing the songs and I'm recommending it to all my friends. Goddess is funny, heartwarming and a pleasure to watch. The choice of the director (Mark Lamprell) to cast Laura Michelle Kelly and Ronan Keating as a young UK family transported into a new community in a new country is inspired. They simply "click" on screen and exude warmth. The director's choice of Magda is equally inspired. She is nothing short of a knockout. The musical numbers are very catchy and expertly choreographed. This is the movie Australians have been asking for for years. All too often critics have complained that Australian movies take themselves far too seriously. Not so Goddess. No bleak navel gazing happening here. Goddess is quirky and fun from beginning to end.Give yourselves a treat over the Easter break. Go and see Goddess and have great time.

phil-633-815050 We really enjoyed this charming feel good film. The characters, songs and performances combine to take you on a whirlwind journey that doesn't fail to deliver. Laura and Ronan are refreshingly natural and there is real chemistry between them. Magda is an absolute hoot and the film just looks and feels great.The music is especially enjoyable and it's great to see a musical with fabulous original songs rather than relying on a collection of cliché sixties hits or old number ones. This films feels original from the ground up and that's one of the reasons we liked it so much! As well as the leads there is a great supporting cast cameos that are truly delightful.
