Mission Beach's film club has finally spawned and is showing a random Aussie flick we've never heard of this Sunday from 7.30pm at the Surf Life Saving Club in South Mission. We are definitely going to sign up and go watch it. Finally, somebody is putting on a film which isn't all artsy or for children. We hope the showings of Riddick and Too Fast Too Furious 6 aren't too far away...
Anyway here is a bit of an overview of the film...
Mental – Australia – 2012 – 111 minutes
Director/ Screenplay: P J Hogan
Cast: Toni Collette, Rebecca Gibney, Anthony LaPaglia, Deborah Mailman, Lily Sullivan, Bethany Whitmore, Chelsea Bennett, Nicole Freeman
The Moochmore girls are certain they all suffer from some kind of undiagnosed mental illness – because if they’re not crazy then they’re just unpopular. Their mother Shirley (Rebecca Gibney) – unable to cope with her demanding daughters and unsupported by her philandering politician husband, Barry (Anthony LaPaglia) – suffers a nervous breakdown. After Barry commits his wife to a mental hospital (telling his constituents that she’s on holiday) he finds himself alone with 5 teenage girls he barely knows. Desperate, he impulsively picks up a hitchhiker named Shaz (Collette) and installs her in his home as nanny to his daughters.
Location: Surf Life Saving Club – South Mission Beach Food: Gourmet Burgers & Beverages
