Introducing the Dwights isn’t a much better title than its native Australian one, Clubland. But don’t let that cable sitcom-like christening dissuade you from seeing this moving dramedy. The only thing more surprising than the film’s sexual frankness is the way it nimbly segues into tender pathos, successfully encompassing both an adult sex comedy and a nurturing study of familial togetherness. In a perfect world, Brenda Blethyn’s performance as a fry cook–by-day, stand-up comic–by-night mother – as good as her best work in Secrets and Lies – would be an Oscar nominee shoo-in.
