BIOGRAPHY
David Stratton is a former Director of the Sydney Film Festival, former film critic for the international film industry magazine Variety, and is currently film critic for The Australian. A recipient of the Australian Film Institute ‘s Raymond Longford Award, David has also served as a former President of the International Critics Jury for the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, authored two books, and is currently lecturing in Film History as part of the Continuing Education Program at the University of Sydney. David says, “I had been the film consultant to SBS from its inception and then presenter of both the Movie of the Week and Cinema Classics for over 22 years. Both Margaret and I are grateful for the opportunities that SBS and The Movie Show have given us and have great affection for the network. So our decision to leave SBS is not a step we have taken lightly. But we are excited about the new challenge on ABC TV.”

" This puerile so-called comedy is a complete waste of the talents of Anna Faris, a cheeky beauty who is obviously channelling Marilyn Monroe – God forbid a remake of Some Like it Hot is in the works." -- At the Movies (Australia)

" Occasionally the film is so bad it's almost funny, if you think a scene in which a cat is used as a football is funny." -- The Australian

" Though this original screenplay by Peter Woodward has the potential for an interesting examination of the endurance of love, it’s saddled with characters who are not very believable and situations which are more melodramatic than realistic." -- At the Movies (Australia)

" Pic has a wafer-thin plot and an interesting use of locations in remote parts of the island nation, but visually, with its truly annoying DV hand-held homemovie look, which at times goes beyond ugly, the film limits itself to the fest circuit." -- Variety

" Audiences partial to this rather rarefied material will find plenty to enjoy in the technically polished production, but those not on Wenders’ wavelength will be seriously alienated." -- Variety
