Our
closing night feature, A Few Best
Men, has played internationally and is now coming to the Valley. It’s hard to top what one reviewer wrote
about it:
“A sheep
in drag, a runaway floral arrangement and Olivia Newton John as you’ve never
seen her before are some of the memorable moments of this riotous comedy in
which the humour varies from the outrageous to the ridiculous. Scripted by Death at a Funeral’s
Dean Craig, A Few Best Men
cleverly combines its culture clash and buddy themes with a wild tale embracing
family secrets, a drug deal gone wrong and a romantic wedding filled with
hilarious mishaps.”
“Directed
by Stephan Elliott (“The
Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”) with his indefatigable joie de
vivre and wicked sense of humour, the film is a sure fix if you need a laugh.
It’s a perfect marriage of British and Australian humour that fuses into its
own form. The refined, the raucous and the rip-roaringly rude collide in 97
minutes of sparkling mayhem.”
Co-produced
by VFF alum Laurence Malkin,
the cast includes Xavier Samuel,
Laura Brent, Kris Marshall, Rebel Wilson, and, yes, Olivia Newton-John.
Come for
the fun and stay for the awards. After the
5:00 screening, we’ll relocate to nearby Gallery
800 for our closing night awards announcement and party.
See you there!
