Plot
[ edit ]
The film's main plotline revolves around a blossoming romance between its two leads, pretentious theremin player Roland (Robert Sheehan ) and down-to-earth pub band fiddler Keevy (Rebecca Breeds )
The film also has a subplot about a racist bigot (played by Michael Caton ) meeting a refugee boy and a group of Indigenous dancers and is re-educated.
The film contains several running gags, revolving around feminist singer Diamond and her renditions of classic Australian songs and poems, two middle-aged couples who at first seem nice and clean but are actually swingers , a girl band trio vowing to stay together but then two of the three quit, and a stern security guard who upholds the rules.

David Stratton of The Australian [9]
Conversely, Sandra Hall of the Sydney Morning Herald argued, "It's a relentlessly well-meaning film and when it's not proselytising, it's working very hard to manufacture enough laughs to make the whole mix palatable. However, the effort shows."[10]
