Glad to know that we'll have a chance to see it - mind you, I hate to think how long it's going to be before it's shown in Australia!

I think it looks like an interesting movie. I saw a small clip from a link that was on HPANA, and I wanna see it!! I wonder if it will come out in Australia? It had better. Julie Walters is awesome, too. I really liked her in Billy Elliot. (I love that film)

That's great if it means more people will be able to watch it, but Sony Classics... I don't know, to me that seems more like a company who shows classic films, and this one isn't old enough to be a classic. Ah, well, who I am to judge?
