A lot better than might seem from the trailers

For a while, I was reluctant to see this silly comedy with frankly cringeworthy trailers - but once I did, I found it was considerably better than I thought, with a lot of good-natured humour, great pacing, and a surprisingly developed cast for such a kid-oriented film. The subplots with both Annie's family members and other people in and around town do a lot to add texture and brighten the mood.Additionally, it should be noted that besides simply being a sports drama, this film also has a deeper connection to its Australian outback setting as it engages at length with the perennial issue of water availability - although I can't say it does so in a fully satisfying manner. That is, the villain who exploits control over water rights in the area to buy up bone-dry land for cheap is very well-acted and immensely hateable - far more so than the antagonist of the dog sports arc, who is, after all, first and foremost a player of the game.Yet, not much happens to him, and the implicit suggestion it's easier to win an international competition than to attract attention from other parts of the country to help overturn local injustice is hardly all that optimistic. It stays sufficiently in the background not to spoil the fun of the film. But does add a bitter note to the aftertaste.

Runt: Small Size, Big Dreams!

Runt is an enjoyable Aussie movie that wonderfully captures a snippet of a Western Australian country town through the bond shared by a young girl and her rescue dog.The performances are heartfelt, from all the actors, showing the playfulness of youth and adults alike. The cinematography is stunning at showcasing a wheatbelt town through its struggles of drought. The music, costumes and locations all help to tell a story that was engaging and thought-provoking for the whole family.The screenplay strikes a perfect balance between emotional moments and light-hearted humor, making it relatable to eveyone in our family watching this fun tale.Also, we stayed until the end and found out there is an end of credits extra.Runt is a reminder of the challenges of family life, making it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates heartfelt storytelling. Runt, while the movie is small in size shows we can all have big dreams!

This is an 'OH NO' flik

And I thought that the Australian film industry may have reached its lowest point. How wrong I was. This totally asinine attempt surely shows once and for all that the people making the film decisions in Australia are totally mad. They have absolutely no respect for Australia and produce 'dumb-downing' tripe like this. Cliche after boring repetitive cliche and all the worst aspects of a nation that is morally bankrupted. Time for the citizens of Australia to say an emphatic NO. Make these people invest every cent they have and the no one shows up and they go insolvent. The only problem is that taxpayer money is also being used to pay for these pathetic films. Yikes Australia. Really? The humor that this fIlm is trying so desperately to create is just not funny -PERIOD!!!
