Average Rating: 
Rating:  - So-so
The seep of the worst aspects of American culture is always depressing to watch. Witness the 2004 Australian film Danny Deckchair, which is an off the rack romantic comedy without a whit of inspiration, and as predictable as they come. Granted, Hollywood romantic comedies can be bad to occasionally mediocre, and this film gently crests out of bad and into tepid mediocrity, but why was it ever made? To prove that Aussies could be as banal as the worst our country produces? Perhaps the secret is that ... Read More
Rating:  - Who hasn't wished for a transformation at some point in their lives?
It's been called charming, quirky, delightfully Australian and a lovely little romantic comedy ... but "Danny Deckchair" is all about the power of courage and love to really change our circumstances and transform our lives. Beautifully acted in every respect with glorious lush landscape you'll want to live in, "Danny Deckchair" is a movie to own.
Rating:  - sweet and romantic
A surprisingly sweet romantic comedy about an average guy who ties his lawn chair to a bunch of balloons and takes off to another city where he is accepted and revered. A cute, albeit a bit off-beat, romantic comedy.
Rating: - Balloon Man
One of the reasons I love independent movies like this is they don't seem to have the boundaries of so many others. They don't feel obligated to anything restricting honesty. That refreshing "throw caution to the wind" attitude is prevalent throughout the movie. A great story, fine acting, and a wonderful romantic comedy blend make this movie work. Fine directing, scenery, and music add to the overall success of the picture. If you enjoy movies like "The Station Agent", be sure to catch this one.

Rating: - Flying high
If you like off beat comedies, this one is for you. Danny Deckchair is the story of a guy whose flight of fancy lands him in a new world and a new life. A little contrived? Maybe. But Rhys Ifan makes it work. Miranda Otto of Lord of the Rings Fame, is totally believable as a woman for whom love literally falls from the sky. But the best performance may be Justine Clark as Trudy. See how comedies should really be made.
