More Reviews of Any Questions for Ben?

In the tradition of good Australian movies, these are real people, not drug addicted sex maniacs or murderers ( as in so many movies today)…

Any Questions for Ben? is watchable enough. But it could have been so much more…

Decent Aussie comedy. Overly reliant on banter rather than dialogue, and every other scene is a montage…

Funny, witty, set in Melbourne on sunny days,it was good , then it just got cornier and cornier…

Funny Aussie show with good music, actually not bad for a romantic film ;)…

One of those movies that through its insistence that you sympathise with the main character's existential crisis instead leaves you actively…

Watchable, but rather dull film that isn't on par with Working Dogs classic film, The Castle, and the much under-rated The Dish…

I have a question. OMG how cute is this film…

The Working Dog writing group's collaboration feels so organic. This is searching, vulnerable, dramatic, comedy…

Didn't really like the story, the acting was pretty good but it was a bit boring, absolutely awesome music though, that's what kept me watching…
