I'm sorry, I agree Colin Friels is a brilliant actor...BUT... this movie stinks! The worst part about it is the endless parade of totally unbelievable characters. The way this movie was written, directed and acted, I didn't buy for a second it could actually happen.
This middle-aged bloke all of a sudden having a nervous breakdown and stumbling across a rent-boy in a pub toilet, taking him home, making him breakfast, going to a boozey party and then ending up in the sack with him...going to the carnival and casually picking up the junkie chick with the heart of gold who's running the slug-gun game.... being stopped from smashing the pimp's dog by Bill Hunter quoting the classics who later reprises his triumphant role from 'Priscilla, queen of the desert' by hitting on him...etc, etc, etc..
It was just too much! How this ever got funding is beyond me... it was just so fake & disingenuous I thought...
