I like Danny Deckchair, no matter what everyone else says, it was funny.

Danny Deckchair is an Australian film, although I don't think it really focuses on that very much in the movie, it concentrates on the good things in life, being original (or at least creative), having fun, finding your soul-mate and falling in love, these are the IMPORTANT things and I think that's what this movie is really trying to tell us. The deckchair is just a means of escape, and a symbol (I think) of where you can end up when you do something spontaneous just because you want to/always have wanted to. The only thing I think this movie should have more of is moments of bonding between Glenda and Danny, you didn't see much of them getting to know each other. The interesting thing was that the people of Clarence were so much more down-to-earth compared to the people in Sydney in some ways whereas sometimes the people in Sydney weren't so gossipy and nosy. The way everyone in Clarence found out things and gossiped about everyone and everything was pretty cute, because they had all lived there their whole lives and knew everyone so well, it reminds me of our community here at home. The two scenes I loved most was where Danny let go of Glenda at the Macadamia Ball and she got wet and then started splashing everybody else and they all jumped in, the other scene which was really cool was where Danny had fixed the motorbike and him and Glenda drove it along the country road, I don't know about you, but I love driving down a country road with a person you love, your best friend or Dad or whoever. Danny Deckchair was a really good movie illustrating the Real Life.
