A good balance

This film tells the story of a man with OCD and a woman with multiple personality disorder.There's always a danger of making fun of psychiatric issues in a comedy dealing with psychiatry. Fortunately, this film treads the fine line well, and delivers laughs without being insensitive. It even tells the pain of having such mental health problems, and the stress of being a carer. It is a delightful romantic comedy, and I enjoyed watching it.

It WORKS but not well

There are some sweet moments and powerful acting sequences, but they are few.There is still a warmth that culminates in a cliché ending that makes an aussie film worth the watch and I enjoy all romances, but in comparison to other films in its genre this piece was without much depth.Hate to be overly critical but when you make to it the screen you're competing with the big players whether you have budget or not, the viewers expectations is the commercial reality.Having that many personality disorders is a fairly fresh concept, that could have been worked through more.The worst part is for us that have been in the system and seen these disorders up close.....it's not the stuff that entertaining movies are made of....to say the least.And of course the elephant in the room is that its a pale imitation of Silver Linings who direct traffic which much more subtlety and grace.Curious to know if the drag queens were slipped in there for diversity sake? The ethnic video dance guy did not push the story forward in anyway but was merely a hook to bring them back into the final Act. A real waste of story telling space.The female lead could do great justice to something similar, hope to see it tried again.On a side note, Netflix is really giving us a plethora of B grade movies, don't upscale ratings based on the feel good vibe of your hometown or that you liked an actor in other roles. Everyone's time is too valuable to not share the truth.
