Danny Morgan (Rhys Ifans) works the cement truck. He can't wait for his trip but his girlfriend Trudy (Justine Clarke) cancels to meet local TV sports reporter Sandy Upman (Rhys Muldoon). After overhearing her calling him one of the "little people" and finding out that she lied to him about work, he sees her with Sandy and decides to tied a bunch of giant helium balloons to his deckchair during the BBQ. He lifts off by accident and gets blown far to the town of Clarence where he crash lands in Glenda Lake (Miranda Otto)'s tree.
The deckchair trip is actually a small part of the movie. It turns into a rom-com. As such, it's somewhat limited. The rom part is nice but the com is generally light weight. I like Ifans and Otto together. They make a nice pair.
