This is another kind of strange Australian movie out about this time, like "Strictly Ballroom," with good color, colorful characters and a different type of story. I believe women would like this story more than men, but it has an odd fascination to it that should attract anyone.
The major negative to the story, for me, was that the characters were not very appealing. The lead character in this "Cinderella" story is a big liar and has a stupid, immature laugh that gets grating. Her best friend turns foul-mouthed and bitter.
The movie has a good mix of comedy and drama and there are some very strong moments in here, so very dramatic ones. The soundtrack is comprised of old ABBA songs, and they sound pretty good. This is a story that makes you reflect on it. If they had nicer characters, I would have bought the VHS.
