Ok, I'll get this out of the way early. I hated Muriels Wedding. And I hated Priscilla and Strictly Ballroom!
There, I've said it, it's out there - do with it what you will. But it's time to face facts. Wacky Australian flicks are terrible, and are an embarrassment to our country.
So it's with great pleasure to discover that our most recent export, Clubland (or Introducing The Dwights as it will be known in the USA) is almost as perfectly an accurate depiction of Australian life as you are to find on the big screen. It's a near perfect gem.
The flick follows Jeannie Dwight (the ever so screechy voiced Brenda Blethyn) - loving mother, divorcee, canteen lady and on the road to a comeback on the club comedy circuit. Her ex-husband John (Frankie J Holden) is staging a comeback of his own, hoping to regain his title of Number One in the Country charts which last occurred in 1975.
