10/10
Very absorbing...
19 July 1999
I first happened apon this movie during the lunchtime movie show around here. I missed bits here and there and promised myself I would get out the video. When I did, I was not dissapointed!

Set in a small inner city suburb, called Spotswood, the comedy is based on a small company which is slowly going under. They hire Mr Wallace (Anthony Hopkins) to come in and assess the situation.

What follows is a deep, but fascinating look into the workings of a small shoe factory...

What I love so much about this movie are the actors. There are so many noticable australian actors playing in this movie. You instantly feel comfortable and apart of the atmosphere.

From the very start, the movie engrosses you, and its great. The slot car race scene is great, as is the relationship between Carey and Cheryl.

Don't miss this if you like Aussie comedies. Fits right in there with great films such as The Big Steal and Cosi.
