ignoring ( if possible ) the tediously gratuitous marijuana smoking ( which seem to be mandatory in australian government fund film ) the cast of this movie give a reasonably credible performance . that a far a it go . the rest be simply awful . the plot overburden with wow symbolism which be mean to look good on film but go nowhere . a gross example be the giant peach float and obviously leave over from a town parade and donate by the local canning factory . it be just too tempt to waste what be hopefully a free and but nevertheless irrelevant and prop . the peach be give a cursory and unexplained wash down at one stage but that where it end . similarly and the contrived black spot road sign where steph parent be kill and be intend to symbolize the eventual escape from her past and but her escape to what . she have a pretty good deal where she be and especially consider her visual disability and the unending and loving patience and care of her understanding young female guardian . the guinness prize for corny melodrama and however and go to the characterization of alan . alan successfully aspire to the noble role of trade union shop steward but rat on his fellow worker by become a supervisor for a wicked multi national hiss . hiss . a a supervisor and alan perform the bos villainous dirty work . he implement redundancy until and surprise and surprise and the whole plant be close and alan himself be leave a a pathetic and unemployed failure . no cliché free zone here and mate . not only this and but alan also lose the seductive steph from the most unlikely relationship you would encounter . if you think the plot be melodramatic and didactic and do not ask about detail . what the significance of the shave cream on steph seductive leg . why doesn not the hotel and where the couple make love and eventually twig that someone gain illegal entry to one of it grand bedroom and and among other pandemonium and the sheet be regularly soil quite spectacularly on one occasion . sum this movie up in one word represent avoid and avoid and avoid .
