crell4 I can't see how anything I may say here would ever cause anyone to make up their mind as to watch this flick, but I just have to say... "Watch this movie"! It is NOT the greatest movie you'll ever watch, but gees Louise, it sure is really a good flick. You'll be smiling by the end.At the beginning, I honestly expected absolutely nothing from it because it was "just okay", but then it just got better and better (not mind blowing great, just better and better). It was a pleasant surprise that I now have watched tons of times. Maybe it'll be your cup of tea, maybe not. Then again, I like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles too, so.... Once again.... just watch this flick. It's really worth it.

nintendovi It's good to see the good guys win for a change, and Danny Deckchair is a love story that gives you the warm fuzzies. When I sat back and thought about the movie, there really wasn't too much that I disliked about it - a few minor things but I can overlook them in the grand scheme of it all. Really from the first few minutes of the film when Danny is looking for things to do to keep himself occupied, you know that this is going to be an interesting film. And the whole concept of him tying helium balloons onto his lawn chair to see if it will make him fly, as unrealistic as it sounds, just emphasizes the surreal adventure he is about to embark on to find his calling in life.If you like romantic comedies and Australian people, or the happy and fantastical towns from such movies as Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you're bound to be won over by DannyDeckchair.

badmuthahubbard One of the most agonizing script-writing shortcuts is to have a character go 180 degrees from one scene to the next, in one moment being full of love and affection and understanding, and then for whatever reason refusing to talk to the main character, rushing out rudely and refusing any explanation from the main character, in the most unreasonable way. You're not supposed to wonder why this person would do this, you're just supposed to feel the hurt and rejection. If you like these kinds of scenes, buy this movie. Everything about this movie is predictable, tries to be deep and meaningful, and proceeds on the assumption that you've never seen a movie before. An utter failure.

marina-31 I didn't know what to expect, but found myself laughing out loud many times, which surprised my family to hear. I mostly keep movies on-hand to keep me distracted as I work in the kitchen, but had to just stop and watch this one. And I'm going to make the rest of the family watch it.The development of the main character was so human and endearing. The changing emotions visible on the faces of the two main characters required attention, so I couldn't just listen and glance over while doing other things like I usually can.One thing that I always ask myself in reading a book or watching a movie is, "Do I care about these characters?" If there's no reason to care what happens to someone, why spend the time? In this movie, which I found by searching for movies to add to my Blockbuster online queue, one can't help but care for Danny right from the beginning as his holiday plans are forced to change.There wasn't the usual approach of jumping into bed together out of lust and examining feelings after the fact. The relationship of Danny and Glenda felt plausible, handled with sensitivity and realism with neither of them starting out "looking for love" which really means "wanting sex with someone, anyone" that most Hollywood romances think we want.
