Standing Up for Sunny

27 yr/o male here. I really enjoyed this movie. The humour was light hearted and the story line was good. It's a rom-com without being too chick flicky with the story line and humour type. I found it genuinely funny and with good characters. I'm not a fan of most rom coms as I often find the humour to be too corny or over the top. This wasn't the case. This mixed in with an unconventional, conventional, love story made it really enjoyable and an easy watch. The other thing I really enjoyed (maybe I'm showing my age) is how it highlights the lives of people with disabilities which is really important in our society. It also showed people who watch it that may have a disability that they can find their normality in life if they just follow their passions and stay positive. This would be a great movie to show in schools It's a Stan exclusive or original I believe. So if you're wondering where to watch it... you'll need a Stan account. I'll give it a 9/10.

This is a charming indie rom-com, which follows the usual rom-com trajectory in a number of interesting ways. It's set in Newtown and Sydney's inner-west and stars American actor RJ Mitte (of Breaking Bad fame) as Travis, who's angry about having cerebral palsey, about not having a girlfriend, at all the idiots he meets at his cleaning job etc. Etc. Luckily a cheery blind Samoan, Gordo (played by Italia Hunt) becomes his flatmate and encourages him to get out more, especially to the pub, where he meets Sunny (Philippa Northeast) a cute young woman who wants to be a mechanic, but whose pub-owning/DJ boyfriend (Sam Reid) wants her to be a comedian and get a job on his breakfast radio show. It's an enjoyable fantasy, with lots of humour, the usual pitfalls along the way to success and true love, and even an appearance from veteran comedian Barry Humphries. Radha Michell also appears as Travis' boss. (Plus any film featuring a Camera Obscura song must have its heart in the right place!)

Very nice movie. There's fun and there's dark part. Definitely underrated and I'm really surprised how small is the number of votes on this one. If you don't care about some harsh jokes then this is definitely for you.

Sunny Sunday chilling with the wife and we stumbled across this move on STAN. Going in with zero expectations we came out with tears and laughter. What a gem of an Aussie romcom! "I am not superficial. I do all the Telethons. Those things last all night." So true. And then there is Gordo and his punch lines. Must watch if you are a laid back Aussie couple. (The wife will love it) Thank me later.

It's such a inspiring movie recently seen. Disability, so what!!?? I found my way out. There should be something each of us are good at. No one can change what you are. Be yourself, hell yeah.. the movie is funny with tears, nicely done.

I have seen probably around two thousand movies and after seeing so many, it's hard to find really good ones. This is one of the good ones! It made me laugh, it made me weep, it made me angry and it did all of it in a very natural entertaining way. I absolutely loved every second of it. In my view, what makes a movie good is how it makes one feel, little details like the fact lead didn't use Austrialian accent - is totally irrelevant, I mean seriously? You think makers of movie didn't consider it? They just decided to not do it.
