Editorial Review:
This Australian comedy is wonderfully bizarre, in its story of two sisters in a tiny town who both succumb to the charms of their new neighbor: a lanky, honey-voiced disk jockey named Ken Sherry (George Shevtsov), who has escaped from the big city to spin Barry White records on the radio. As the two sisters, Miranda Otto and Rebecca Frith, embody both sisterly nosiness and solidarity, they unexpectedly find themselves competing for Ken's easily captured affections. The humor derives from the contrast between the sisters: one desperate and clinging, the other stand-offish--yet both vulnerable to Ken's strange (he has webbed toes) charms. Writer-director Shirley Barrett keeps the comedy low-key but consistent in a film in which even the owner of the local Chinese restaurant, a part-time nudist, is funny. --Marshall Fine
Critics nationwide are cheering the wickedly funny and outrageously entertaining LOVE SERENADE! Though one is shy and the other is flashy and outgoing, the Hurley sisters are both lonely young women on the lookout for love!

Provocative and lively, this sexy comedy treat delivers irresistible fun as these wacky siblings turn their lives upside down to get their man!

Rating:  - A delightfully diabolic comedic tale from down under
Ken Sherry (George Shevtsov), a tall, divorced, sleazy, and a bit in love with himself disc jockey from Brisbane comes to the tiny berg of Sunray to take over disc jockeying duties at the local radio station. He likes to spin platters with deep vocals from seductive male voices like Barry White's while spewing out tidbits of philosophy and poetry designed to enthrall the ladies. In the house next door to the one he has acquired, live two unmarried sisters, Dimity (Miranda Otto) and Vicki-Ann (Rebecca ... Read More
Rating:  - Love Serenade
This was an awful movie! The only thing that barely saved it was the sound track!
Rating: - Love Serenade
Very unusual movie. But I was totally suprised by how good it was. I did not recognize any of the characters, but they were exceptional in their roles. I highly recommend this movie. there was one thing I didn't understand?? Why was Ken Sherry a fish??
Rating: - Funniest Movie I Know
This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. The characters are well written and the plot does not easily give itself away. Watch it again for the foreshadowing.
Rating: - One of the worst pictures I've ever seen
I only watched half an hour of Love Serenade, which was about 29 minutes too much for me. This movie was billed as a hilarious comedy, but I only laughed once in the first half hour. The basic idea that these two pretty young women, no matter how lonely and screwed up, would instantly become attracted to/obsessed with a repulsive, obnoxious man old enough to be their father just required too great a "suspension of disbelief" for me to buy into it.
