	Hating Alison Ashley movie review, In Film Australia
		For the first twenty minutes or so Hating Alison Ashley feels fresh, breezy, fun and funny, before the tempo dawdles as the onus is placed on the two girls and their fickle friendship.
		During this introduction their are a number of good chuckles and the rest of the film's humour is spread liberally through the running time.
		r (effective and even slightly endearing as the film's pedantic anchor) she is the victim of some especially poor narrative devices felt predominantly during the film's closure.

		Hating Alison Ashley is a 2005 Australian comedy film based upon the 1984 Hating Alison Ashley novel written by Robin Klein, produced and directed by the Australian filmmaker Geoff Bennett.
		The film stars Saskia Burmeister, as Erica "Yuk" Yurken, an adolescent brunette who fantasises about a better life and stardom; and Delta Goodrem as her school rival Alison Ashley, a blonde who is beautiful, clever and financially well off and the object of Yurken's hate.
		While Hating Alison Ashley was seen by 60,000 people in its first weekend, takings dropped 28 per cent the following week, suggesting that word of mouth was rather negative.

	Sanctuary >> an unofficial Delta Goodrem website
		Goodrem and her Hating Alison Ashley co-star Saskia Burmeister are, of course, both a little long in the tooth to be playing a pair of seventh graders at Melbourne's working-class Barringa East High (finding young actors capable of playing their age has always been a problem for movie-makers).
		Her movie character, Alison Ashley, is the envy of Burmeister's Lisa Simpson-like striver, Erica Yurken - as Goodrem was the envy of every young female in Australia.
		While Goodrem is well cast as the elusive Alison Ashley, a glance over the pop sensation's biography reveals that she has as much in common with Burmeister's Yurken, whose drive and determination to fulfil her dreams to be an actress is the beating heart of the movie.

		While a film may resonate strongly with the book from which it arose, the very nature of creating and communicating meaning through film necessitates that the content is explored from a fresh perspective.

		And Alison is not taken in by Yuk's fantastical stories about her life, made up on the spot to impress her, and this infuriates her even more.
		Although she's somewhat cheered to hear a tearful Alison on the phone, begging her reluctant mother to come to the show.

	Hating Alison Ashley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Adapted from the popular children's novel by Robin Klein, "Hating Alison Ashley" is the story of 14-year-old Erica Yurken (Saskia Burmeister), an academic high achiever whose schoolyard role as suffering intellectual is threatened when the beautiful, private-school educated Alison Ashley (Delta Goodrem) joins her ninth grade class.
		The interview footage with cast and crew consists of very short clips that don't allow for detailed discussion of the film's style and its adaptation from the novel - so the viewer is unable to determine whether "Hating Alison Ashley" was poorly conceived as well as poorly made.
		Hating Alison Ashley is the much-loved and much studied book by Australian author Robin Klein that tells the all-too-familiar tale of a girl whose life is made a misery by the arrival of the effortlessly glamorous Ms Ashley in her class at school.

		Speaking with Saskia Burmeister about the Australian movie ‘Hating Alison Ashley’ which is released nationally in Australia on 17 March 2005 where Saskia plays the role of Erica Yurken, a 14 year-old melodramatic teenager at high school who gets dethroned when the new kid on the block arrives – Alison Ashley.
		I think everyone will be able to relate to Erica as I think everyone has or had an Erica in their class at school and also an Alison Ashley, or even was one of these characters themselves.
		I think that there are so many American teen films where the main character is non-realistic, you know, this blonde haired prom queen type person and that’s what I liked about Erica Yurken, she was a totally relatable character who has this need for acceptance and is filled with teenage angst.

		She may hate how Alison is good at everything and she may hate how she wants to be like Alison, but she really doesn't hate Alison herself.
		"Yeah, the film really shows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side," Delta agreed, "and that everyone has their own problems that they have to deal with." That's right, but don't be fooled into thinking Hating Alison Ashley is a full-on serious drama.
		Hating Alison Ashley stars Delta Goodrem, Saskia Burmeister, Jean Kittson and Craig McLachlan, and will be released in cinemas on Thursday.

		Mind you, half the audience was the cast of Hating Alison Ashley, so a true assessment of how much of an audience pleaser the film is - like an LP left in the car on a searing day - is slightly misshapen.
		The film really needed an actress to bring a bit more believability to the role - as it is, we're not seeing a character, we're seeing Delta Goodrem, and nothing more.
		It's refreshing to find a local film that, for once, doesn't include stereotypical suburban gangsters or a fatigued plot, and instead unveils a tale still uniquely Australian without failing to alienate anyone that mightn't have been bought up or schooled in the same way as its central characters.

		The usage of design and costumes is evident in the film during the annual school camp-play and this is why it appeals to young teenage girls as it emphasis on the flair of fashion in the high school.
		The cast of “Hating Alison Ashley” is brilliant and under the direction of Geoff Bennet, the beloved book is brought to life with a mixture of drama and comedy.
		The film displayed a kind of quirkiness and this is clear during the introduction when there was a glossy, dreamlike shots of a perfect mansion with manicured lawns and dancing ballerinas and it cuts to a scene of the graffiti drawn, dirty East Barranga High School.

		At first, Yuk is not put off by Alison Ashley’s seemingly perfect life and attempts to make friends with the new beauty.
		The producers have born this in mind, and released a PG rated, tween friendly film with enough gags for the original fans of the books who are possibly now taking their daughters to the film.
		As I said, the audience for this film is guaranteed, and girls and young women alike have been queuing up for their tickets in the first week of release.

	Hating Alison Ashley review
		Erica Yurken, known to her peers as "Yuk" or "Erk", is a 14-year-old drama queen with a love of Romeo and Juliet who thinks she is a cut above the other students in the delinquent class of 9C at Baringa East and believes she is destined for greater things.
		Toppled from her position of top student by new arrival, the beautiful, rich Alison Ashley (Delta Goodrem), Yuk comes to believe Alison is the enemy and the scene is set for a battle between the two high-achievers.
		Goodrem is ideal as the nice, pretty, angelic Alison, but at times the character could have done with an edge for Burmeister to bounce off.
