"Hello Dan, it's Joe here ..."

My new favorite Christmas movie. Nick Waterman masterfully turns Paul Kelly's lyrics from "How to Make Gravy" into a Christmas tale about family, regret, anger, betrayal, forgiveness, love, hope, respect and friendship.Daniel Henshall as Joe takes us on an emotional journey and I felt connected with Hugo Weaving as Noel, the prison cook who unites the inmates.Quality Australian production with some surprise cameo's to look out for in Paul Kelly and Adam Briggs.Make a roast with gravy (and don't forget the dollop of tomatoe sauce for sweetness), and sit back with the family and enjoy Merry Christmas!

I didn't think it was possible

I didn't think it was possible to take a classic Australian song loved by millions and make it into a classic Australian movie that no doubt will be loved by just as many. Everyone associated with this movie should be very proud of their achievement. It hits every mark and emotion the song evokes, and some. The writing, acting and direction are excellent and the setting is perfect. It even has a cameo of the original singer/songwriter Paul Kelly as the bus driver. It feels real and believable in every sense. Those who love the song won't be disappointed, nor will those unfamiliar with it. I loved it and will definitely watch it again.

The ingredients to making it in life...

Paul Kelly's song becomes a feature film in telling a ballad about a father unable to express true emotions. Instead, to the distraught of his family (more importantly his son), he ends up in prison for a violent outburst on a family Christmas Day. This is where the journey begins for him, and Daniel Henshall plays it with an emotional depth that has you drawn into the conflicting character, along with Hugo Weaving back to form as the wise prisoner cook.An Australian movie that brings back hope to the art of a perfectly two hour storytelling structure, thanks to a screenplay by Meg Washington (a most underrated Australian musician), and debut feature director, Nick Waterman, who really get the characters that embody the Aussie suburban culture. And what joy to see Paul Kelly make a cameo.
