More Reviews of Any Questions for Ben?

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

This is a very frustrating movie to rate. It starts off really well - snappy, quirky, some good laughs and good character development…

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

Far far away from the amazing The Castle , this follow up comedy from Rob sitch is unfortunately not really well directed…

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

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

The whole thing made me nostalgic for Working Dog's sharper days when they would surely have perpetrated all sorts of wickedness at Ben's expense…

Great film from Working Dog gang with loads of funny moments, though think Felicity Ward really stole the show…

Even though Any Questions for Ben never really produces any unique answers to make it a revelatory rom-com, it has an easy, low-stakes charm,…

Very much captures the zeitgeist of 20-something Australia. Clever, funny and with a satisfying ending…
