Now, I have been a Kylie fans for years, and I think seen almost everything she has ever done! Including several Mardi Gra performances! Kylie has, and always will have, old fashioned star quality...And, she has it in this film too, in abundence!
Kylie herself once said, she's still around cause she does a bit of everything...but, this film proves she does a bit of eveything very well!
Kylie shines here in this light romance, that as it rolls along, will charm even the most harden viewer! Okay, it is not high art but it's better than most CGI films around today! Ps. Kylie sings Tears on my Pillow in the closing credits!

Yes, the NTSC version isn't the greatest transfer. It appears to be a direct transfer from a VHS. But it's not the worst I've seen and it's the only way to get/watch this movie in the US/Canada, if you can find a copy. Unless you have a multi-region player. The back cover does say "Digital remaster", which doesn't appear to be correct. Also, some of the dialogue was a bit hard to understand due to background noise and thick Aussie accents. Subtitles would have been nice, but they aren't included.

The film itself is a good story with good acting. A must for fans of Kylie Minogue or Charlie Schlatter. Or even if you want to see a good film.

The only special feature shows filmographies for a few of the people involved. Unfortunately the NTSC version doesn't include the "making of" and "interview" features the Region 4 PAL version does.

This review is not for the actual film but the DVD's quality. Be warned. The NTSC version of this film, released by New Star Video is very low in quality. It's clearly an amateurish transfer from a VHS tape (you see lines and static while watching the DVD) and not the sharpest image either. Steer clear of this one, unless you don't have access to a Region Free DVD Player and are desperate to watch this film. The cover (which looks like a color photocopy) states that it has been Digitally Remastered. What they left off the end of that sentence is "in my neighbor's living room."
