A skilled heart-tugger from Australia that verges on rock opera.

Your ability to overlook the film's myriad contrivances will ultimately depend on how you react to little De Roma.

L.A. Weekly by Chuck Wilson
If Tass had found a way to include more playfulness, her film would be more endearing. Instead, she accents the easy bathos of David Parker's script, from the problems of the shrill, cliched neighbors to a finale that plays like a movie of the week.
