Full Plot Details

Sydneysider Danny Morgan, a simple man who works for a concrete company, is prone to daydreaming to escape his life, those daydreams often of his unique ideas. Of late, those daydreams have been about his and his longtime girlfriend Trudy Dunphy's imminent vacation, a camping trip which Danny has been planning for a year. Eventually learning that Trudy, a real estate agent, lied to get out of the trip to spend time with a famous client, television sportscaster Sandy Upman, is just the latest manifestation that Trudy is drifting away from Danny, who she sees as just a concrete man while she aspires to something or someone more exciting like Sandy. With the vacation now a no-go leaving him with a couple of weeks free with nothing to do but have his mind wander, Danny, with an unexpected windfall of free giant balloons, ponders whether they, filled with helium and tied to a deckchair, would be able to lift him in the deckchair up into the air. Danny's balloon deckchair experiment will have not only a profound effect on him, but that of Glenda Lake of Clarence, she a lonely parking enforcement police officer who has felt lost in life, while Trudy also sees it as another possible restart to her and Danny's relationship in that proverbial fifteen minutes of fame in their lives.

Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 9/10 by Sean O'Connellan unchallenging romantic comedy that begins with its quirky character's balloon-and-chair experiment but never flies as high as the film's leading man
Film Scouts - 9/10 by Jason GorberA pretty straightforward and competent little film.
New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenA pleasantly sappy fable of new beginnings that suggests a Frank Capra film sweetened with an extra layer of sugar glaze.
Hollywood Report Card - 9/10 by Ross AnthonyOh, I like this film! Formulaic, but good direction, great pace, strong dialogue, strong acting, big giant helium-filled warm heart.
USA Today - 8/10 by Mike ClarkThis handsome movie works thanks to its lack of pretension and an atmosphere somewhat akin to the gentle wackiness of director Bill Forsyth's better works.
Blunt Review - 8/10 by Emily BluntUnapologetic romance spun by some major talents make this little film unforgettable.
WaffleMovies.com - 8/10 by Willie WaffleDanny Deckchair is a wonderful mix of sweetness and wackiness
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonSweet-tempered, good-looking, goofy and not too sharp. The movie doesn't make much sense and neither does Danny, played by Welsh heartthrob Rhys Ifans.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Stephen HunterIt is piffle done well. A (literally) lighter-than-air story, full of goofs and creeps and fools and silliness, it manages to delight without simpering, make points without lecturing and break hearts and mend them again without turning you weepy.
Detroit Free Press - 8/10 by Terry LawsonWhat finally prevents Danny Deckchair from floating away completely is Balsmeyer's seemingly sincere admiration for those Trudy dismisses as 'the little people,' rendered here with as much respect as eccentricity.
