04/27/2021 Absolute stinker. Like an episode of Neighbours or Home and Away. See more Stephen K @usmhot 04/23/2021 Overacted and badly directed, couldn't watch. This movie has some of the great actors of old and should have been funny and engaging, but it's really disappointing. Only managed to get through the first 15 minutes before we had to give up. I blame the director. See more 04/18/2021 If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. See more wayne m @Wayne93 01/12/2021 Palm Beach is a perfectly fine film but one that could never be described as essential. It's pleasant, sometimes funny but never meaty enough to truly connect. The film is set in the affluent northern Sydney suburb of Palm Beach. Frank is celebrating a birthday and he has invited the members of a band that he managed many years ago in The Pacific Sideburns, yes it's a horrible name. At first it's good times as old memories are hashed out and there is joy at friends being reunited. But over the few days old memories become bad memories as old wounds are reopened. There is also some regret among some few about how their lives have turned out. Even Frank, who made a fortune through a clothing line, has regret about growing old. It's a great cast with Sam Neill and Bryan Brown doing sterling work but it never truly works as the drama seems a bit inconsequential and the laughs feel a little forced. So for light entertainmtnet it works but doesn't really convince. See more 06/13/2020 I hated this pile of drivel. I resented watching it. A display of white people living about as far away rom anyone that is racially diversive as they possibly can. When they arnt in their inner city mansions they are on the insular penisular or at their farms. Screaming of white privilege and toxic masculinity we watch the aging cast pretend they are a good ten years younger than the age of the characters they are playing and I am being very gracious when I say only ten years. How do they get funding to even make an indulgent elitist movie like this? What about the other 99.99% of Aussies out there doing it tough? See more Read all reviews
