| User ReviewStephen MGreat movie, featuring some wonderful quirky characters from a Greek and a Lebanese Muslim family thrown into turmoil by the love between Eve and Alex. The interaction between Alex and his senior Maths class is just priceless. The ending is a bit over the top, buy in the tradition of several other great Australian movies which send up society's expectations. |
