    Introducing the Dwights

    Really good performances. Dysfunctional family drama. Quirky but well done.

    Jolly Good Film

    by JimiD

    Yet another wonderfully dysfunctional family. Some excellent acting from the cast, especially by Brenda Blethyn. While the focus seems to be on eldest som making his way away from clinging & odd mother, the brother with cerebral palsy is a great mix of disability and normalcy. In fact, he may be the most well-adjusted character in the whole movie. Aussies as good as the Brits, if not better. Definitely better than us ugly americans. Yes, but a wee-bit of sadness throughout.

    Not Brenda Blethyn's best. it tries to be a quirky indie comedy, but the laughs are few, the message weak, and sometimes it feels like the brother is being made fun of with his disability. It's a shame the writing is so weak, because the acting is very good.
