How sad is this?
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Australia loves quirky and does it better than everyone else. It has allowed their film industry to create great films over the decades. Lately they have concentrated (in this part of the world anyway) on children's' television. This seems to fit in here and is very well done. The acting is very good, although Delta's wig is distracting. There is great attention to the minor roles and Saskia is perfect in the lead. I think this works best for slightly younger kids than the ages portrayed in the film. They possibly relate to teens a couple of years old, without being adults. Hopefully, it will open them to the wonderful treat of Aussie film, which as for me, will last a lifetime. It's good.
I absolute love this movie, it is now my favourite of all time. While keeping the plot of the movie similar to that of the book, they have modernised it and made it so much better. All the cast did an excellent job, even Delta although many say she didn't. How Delta portrayed Alison to me was how she was supposed to be.I feel however that with the way the movie ended, there should be a sequel. How Alison's night at the Yurken house went, Barry and Erica's relationship, and most importantly how or if Erica's relationship with her family and the way she views them has changed. I would like to see the wedding of Erica's mum and Lennie. That's why I'm running a petition for a seqeul at the following website. Anyone is welcome sign.http://www.PetitionOnline.com/haas6/petition.htmlThis storyline is just to good to only have one movie on it. So producers if your reading this...please make a sequel. And make sure the actors all remain the same because they were brilliant.
i watched Delta Goodrem in neighbours as Nina Tucker and thought she was so talented but was gutted when she left. my heart rose when she brought out innocent eyes and i thought it was brilliant then i got mistaken identity and also loved that. i heard about Hating Alison Ashley and decided to go and buy it because it didn't get released as a movie or DVD in the UK so i bought it on e-bay and it is one of the only films i will watch because it is superb both Delta and Samantha were brilliant and credit goes to all of the cast/crew for making this film.i believe that Delta Goodrem is probably the most beautiful woman in the world and i have got everything she has brought out e.g. albums singles photos calenders films DVDs
I loved this film, and thought Delta's performance was really good. You have to remember she is seen as a perfect, pristine character who just glides through life: she is a creation of Yuk, not a real person warts and all. Saskia Burmeister is fantastic as Yuk, and I really liked that the film is about something, not just a stupid comedy that goes nowhere. I relate to the idea of really wanting to be something then finding out you're just no good, and of trying to find a place in the world. That this film is about serious things but still makes you laugh is a credit to the film makers. I think Hating Alison Ashley is a classic - all that great stuff going on in the class and the hilarious stuff that Miss Belmont and Mr Kennard get up to makes it all the better. Go see it - it's a great film!
