Rating:  - Release this film on DVD!!!
I own a copy of this film on VHS and really hope that someone will put this release on DVD with special features. I absolutely LOVE this film! I first saw this in a theater in 1997, at the start of my college years, and my first impression of it was: "not bad for a low budget Aussie film". A year or so later, after being in college, I wanted to see this film again but could never remember the title, as I looked every where for it. When I finally bought it on VHS in 2001, I watched it over and ... Read More
Rating: - college life made funny..................
the scenes where Frances O'Connor is walking back and forth across campus from department to department, trying to get her transfer slip signed by the appropriate people in the appropriate sequence is still so funny in it's realism i laugh every time. instead of gaining 10 pounds as a freshman i lost 30 because of all the leg-work college demands in their paper work.

Rating:  - run of the mill
this movie is insubstantial. it knows its insubstantial. it tells a cliched story with characters who are all skin-deep portraits of college students. there is nothing wrong with any of this- as long as it's charming and witty in execution-- It's not.
Truth be told, there are enjoyable moments to be found. The directing isn't too choppy for an indie film made on a small budget in a week. And the acting is pretty dang good with three of the leads going on to be major stars (Frances O'Connor, ... Read More
Rating: - Being a Film Student...
I am a film student in California and I completely identify with this Australian movie. The hilarious and bittersweet moments are well-told by the first-time writer and director and actors, especially Matt Day(Michael), Frances O'Connor(Mia) and Radha Mitchell(Dani). They all did an amazing job with the resources that they had for this independent film. I recommend this to anyone who is living through or have lived through college life.
