Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA subplot involving Susan (the girl behind the counter) and Matt (a worker at the hotel) was cut. Matt gives Melissa some boxer shorts that cost $20. She doesn't have the money, but he lets her go, saying that she owes him. Throughout the movie, Matt was supposed to pop up at inopportune moments asking for the $20. It seems Susan wanted a physical symbol of their love. Matt never gets the $20. They fight, and by the end of the film, he gets Melissa's necklace from Rick. Director Craig Rosenberg cut this subplot because it was not totally necessary.

Featured review
A surprisingly pleasant film to watch
I have watched many films from Down Under and tremendously enjoyed most of them. Australian films have
a distinct "flavour"; probably part of it comes from the
accent!!! However, the title of this one did not even attract
me at first but I thought I'd give it a try after reading a short
review of the film in some magazine. And I'm glad I did. In
spite of all the "kitsch", it was certainly a good watch........it
actually left a pleasant aftertaste! In fact, it would not have
been as good without the "kitsch". Well played out by the
actors/actresses.....a memorable one being the piano player/hotel owner with his songs.
