Summary: Wonderful heartwarming
Comment: I can watch this film over and over and still enjoy it just as much as the first time. It was a delight. Loved every character. Great humour, honest wit and charm from start to end.
Customer Rating:
Summary: "It's the vibe of the thing."
Comment: The Castle is an absolute delight from start to finish, a good-natured, open-hearted no-budget Australian comedy shot in 11 days that really works, not least because you really love the characters. They may live in a less than des res at the end of a runway and have worse taste than trailer trash, but they're truly happy with their lot and each other so you find yourself laughing with them as much as at them as they fight a compulsory purchase order on their `castle' with the aid of their lawyer who can't even get his photocopier to work properly, let alone interpret law beyond `the vibe.' It breaks a lot of the rules of construction, relying heavily on narration and repetition, but it really works. Easily the most joyously likeable film I've seen in ages.
The NTSC DVD is the US version of the film, but unlike most Miramax acquisitions, the changes are very minor - no missing scenes for once, merely a couple of minor dialogue changes from Strine phrases that might leave US viewers scratching their heads.

Summary: How's the serenity?
Comment: I've introduced this movie to Norwegians, English, Germans and many others. It's a bloody ripper! Even just thinking about it now (and I haven't watched it for over a month) I start to giggle.
It's stereotypical, cliched and so honest it's almost scary!
if there was an option for 12 out of 5 I'd award it 15!p.s.
I've been to Bonnie Doon and it's just like in the movie!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the best films I've seen!
Comment: I'd never heard of this film before I caught the last 2/3rds of it on television, and as far as I know it isn't available here in the United Kingdom..... but it should be! The dim-witted (but likeable) Kerrigan family really think life can't get any better, and the whole films is full of examples of their low-expectations. There really isn't a dull moment, it's very watchable and heartwarming. Get it!
