Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

jk-692-236394 I was looking for shows from other countries for variety. I loved Spirited, loved A Moody Christmas, then I watched Mr and Mrs Murder, which I like, that led me to Offspring, which I love. After watching all 3 seasons of that I decided to try Love my Way. First off I still cannot get used to how much swearing and bare sex there is on these shows. The swearing is off the charts. They say the F word constantly, and it seems like everyone swears with gusto, adults, old people, teenagers, no bother there. I do not enjoy that. Plus why does everyone sleep around and with fellow family members from the main characters families so much? That is weird to me. I tried Tangle but by then I was sick of the same people in all the shows and they started to feel very the samey. Next I liked the shows at first but then I noticed all the same actors seem to be on all the shows and movies and specials. It was weird. Like Kat Steward seems to be on 3 things at once. It kinda sucks the uniqueness out the actor or actress. On Love my Way, I found Charlie, Julia and many characters very unappealing on this show. They are rude, nasty and selfish jerks. Charlie did win me over a bit in the final season. I really hated the whole stepson story. It just did not fit with the rest of the show. Also why was was Lewis, who is a former addict drinking and smoking pot? That being said I did watch all 3 seasons. The acting and story line around losing Lou was moving and honest. I was impressed with that. I would recommend this still to people. It could of used more humor. It was rather bleak at times and so serious. Offspring has a fun lightness to it. I love the comedy. Asher Keddie in Offspring is so adorable, where I could not stand her in Love my Way. I am glad I watched Offspring first. I am surprised the States have not come a calling for Asher Keddie, but that might happen now with Offspring showing her off better. Also I found so much good music I never heard of before from all the different shows. Thanks Australia!

Rupert17 Love my way should really have been titled "Life As It Really Is". Southern Star's John Edwards and his writers have somehow managed to depict the lives of 30-somethings living in Sydney with realism, humour and life situations that many of us can relate to.Claudia Karvan is outstanding as Frankie, a single mother whose honesty and intelligence don't keep her safe from the emotional roller coaster ride that life can sometimes be. Asher Keddie, Ben Mendelsohn, Dany Wyllie and Brendan Cowell share Frankie's life, loves and disasters while steering their own lives down some pretty rocky roads.I know television is saturated with barely watchable soap operas, but Southern Star's entries such as Love My Way, Tangle and Secret Life of Us, are a cut above the mainstream and tremendously entertaining. This is addictive television at its best. 9/10

taliesson Love My Way made getting cable totally worthwhile. When I first heard of yet another Australian TV drama, I expected a very ordinary predictable show which I'm sorry to say, so many Australian dramas can be. There is nothing ordinary or predictable about this show. It just came out of the blue. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I place it in the same class as "The Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under". It is truly an emotional roller-coaster which takes you into the lives of some very ordinary and some very damaged individuals. Its keeps its Australian flavour without shoving it on the viewer which can sometimes happen in Australian dramas. The direction is fantastic. Its almost European in some of its scenes as they don't overuse dialogue or spell everything out.Claudia Karvan and Asher Keddie are particularly fantastic but the whole cast is an incredible ensemble. I hope to see more wonderful drama series like this in the future.I look forward to seeing more of Love My Way in 2007.

lozz_boland I began watching this show from the start of the first series. I was immediately hooked. The cast are so talented and they really do become their characters. I have always watched anything that Claudia Karvan has starred in, I loved Secret Life of Us and when i saw that John Edwards was involved i knew this was again the special magic that both him and Karvan create. The scripts aren't soapy, this drama is written with such passion and talent, it is extremely clever, heart warming and sometimes tragic. I honestly cant remember watching a show and really feeling like you are intruding on peoples everyday lives. I have laughed and cried watching this show and i truly believe this is the best Australian Drama ever produced.
