Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of three Australian comedies Jason Donovan made in the early 2000s trying to pivot from Neighbours heartthrob to film actor. The pivot did not pivot.
Tempe is a real Sydney suburb, and the film's entire aesthetic — share houses, bad cafes, passive-aggressive strata meetings — is aggressively early-2000s Australian urban comedy that basically doesn't exist anymore.
