I Love You Too Starring Peter Dinklage, Brendan Cowell, Peter Helliar, Yvonne Strahovski, Megan GaleDirected by Daina Reid ‘'I Love You Too'' is an Aussie comedy (Oh calm down! We have produced better flicks than ‘'Crackers'' and ‘'You Can't Stop The Murders'', ya know!?) that's bound to have a higher purpose than serving as a drink coaster come the DVD release (You should see the circles on my "Welcome to Woop Woop" disk!). That should say it all. The flick, featuring an easily-marketable international cast headlined by Peter Dinklage ("Death at a Funeral") and TV fave Brendan Cowell ("Love My Way"), is the brainchild of local comedian Peter Helliar, and I'm told the script works on quite a few levels. I'd believe it too. Helliar tells me he's a huge fan of Wes Anderson and Alexander Payne, and loves their witty, character-based comedies. If either guy has served as inspiration, which it sounds like they have, I think it's safe to say there's something tasty in the works. As a constituent of the media himself, Helliar's forced to sit through as many shitty comedies as we are, and he doesn't want to see another "New in Town" in existence as much as we do. But also, Roadshow Films have a great track record of picking and producing Aussie comedies (be it ‘'Crackerjack'', ‘'Bad Eggs'' or "The Dish") and I can't see them donating cabbage to something that's going to fall flat on its face as soon as the starter pistol sounds. In fact, Managing Director Joel Pearlman told me at a conference recently that the script is awesome. He's one of a few studio heads I believe. From what I gather, the flick is a little bit ‘'Malcolm'', a smidge ‘'Crackerjack'', and a fraction ‘'The Fisher King''. If that doesn't interest you, maybe the prospect of two of today's best actors, Dinklage and Cowell, teaming up will? Or even these legs donning the silver screen (they belong to "Chuck" starlet Yvonne Strahovski)? Thought that'd sell you sceptics. A lotta things going for this one. I know a lot of Aussie films that are about as enjoyable as waxing Robin Williams back, but this, I believe, will be the exception. |
