    Absolute hillarious AUSTRALIAN comedy that provides an interesting perspective on corporate life, hippies and hilarity! Ben Lee is awesome as is Rose Byrne.

    For every line of dialogue that's truly, glitteringly acid, though, there are five that are merely clever, and Lee, likable as he is, never really taps into the misery of the teen misfit.

    A welcome rarity: an amiable film comedy that leaves you feeling good as opposed to feeling for your wallet.

    Taking satiric aim at a familiar target, conformity, Australian playwright Tony McNamara's film debut is by turns incisive and broad.
