Charming and quirky, not perfect but well worth the time. Even the director's commentary on the DVD is interesting (and that is saying a lot). The locations are unique. Better portrait of Newfoundland than the bigger budgeted Shipping News.

This Australian "mockumentary" played on America's PBS network a couple of years ago. It took me a while to tune into its highly idiosyncractic satire but once I caught on I was hooked. Bureaucracy, media, sports, almost everything is served up on the platter here. I would pay for a DVD collection of this but, alas, it seems to only available in Australia. Pity.
