Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Thomas Hardcastle I thought it was rubbish. The premise is interesting, but when you actually sit down and watch this, it becomes clear that the premise was the only thing that had been worked on.Poor script. Average acting. There isn't much about this film that can be commented on in a positive manner. They even added the usual love interest trash.This film is bad, but it's certainly not, "Gangs of New York," bad. This film, although a boring piece of cheap film-making is three times better than Gangs Of New York, which is why I've given it three out of ten. Never, ever watch Gangs Of New York, or you'll probably end up wanting to watch something three times better, like this piece of sheet.

Napoleon Wilson Although this was never breathtaking or outstanding it had it's merits before the contrived ending. Actually the first half hour is watchable though full of clichés, but Billy Connolly makes it work. When he sues god it actually makes sense at first. But when the courtroom drama really begins, nothing makes sense anymore. The exchanged dialogue adds no new insight and the final speech by Connolly is nothing but bad. It's as if the screenwriter found an interesting question but couldn't think of an answer.SPOILER"I cannot sue god, cause god is love." What? The film goes right down the toilet. Why should anyone watch this?

Fat Freddy's Cat As a social comment, it didn't tell us much we didn't already know. Insurance companies are run by immoral sharks and will try every trick in the book to get out of paying a claim, lawyers are essentially venal and the law has little to do with justice and a lot to do with the depth of the protagonists' pockets, and established religions are run by pompous pontificators and whited sepulchres, so the whole shebang hasn't moved on much since the days of the Scribes and Pharisees. But it told us it in a sharply witty and deftly handled way. These are all amongst Billy's favourite social comments, and although he didn't pull too many punches, he showed the real power of cleverly directed humour in exposing the hypocrisies of the establishment.Some may claim Billy has himself become an establishment figure, and other reviewers here have been harsh on his failure to "ram home" the assault on the churches. I think we all know Billy's opinion on the Catholic church in which he was raised, but he chooses in this film to leave a little bit there for those who like to still hold on to the mysteries. However, he does lampoon the religious fanatics who consider that they and they alone have a hot-line to God and they are the sole custodians of absolute truth.The only spoiler for me was the attempted Scottish accent from Colin Friels. And I couldn't quite figure out the plot twist that had two Scots sons following their father into the old established family law business but happening to be doing so in Sydney???It isn't destined to ever be regarded as a great movie classic, but as a low budget piece of irreverent (!) Aussie fun and a great vehicle for Billy's comic talents and the terrific acting of Judy Davis, it was pretty much right on the money. 8/10

sammy I really did enjoy this movie, Billy Connelly is both hilarious and thought-provoking, and to me he was the perfect choice for this part. There was nothing I really disliked about this story, although I did wonder at the end what happened to the dog... Definately worth watching.8/10
