So let's start of with the fact that this is a movie with zero agenda, whatsoever, other than to have fun. The movie isn't supposed to be serious and you're not expected to take it seriously. If you take yourself and/or life too seriously, you are not going to like this movie.
OK, now that that is out of the way... at the beginning of this movie, I was thinking, "what am I watching!?" But as it progressed, I found myself enjoying it more and more.
Yes, the characters are quirky, which I like. The girl is uninterested in the blind date, and I'm pretty sure most anybody would have been. Yeah, the guy tries way too hard, but the reason for that is explained later on. Sure, the story line is bizarre, but like I said... it's called entertainment, not education. The guy's idea to try and "fix" the situation is beyond unbelievable - as in not scientifically believable at all - and I even pointed this out while we were watching it - but... and I cannot stress this enough... IT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!!
The fact that it's an Australian movie, well... that just cinches it, then, doesn't it? :) If you want a good date night movie where you can escape the realities of life for an hour or so; If you want a good laugh without having to constantly be thinking deep thoughts.... give this movie a shot. You won't be sorry... then came back and give it a review!
