The well-oiled team of Mick Molloy, Judith Lucy and Tony Martin who originated from the ABC's The Late Show have made their way from TV and radio comedy to the harder audience in the film industry.

 Unpopular Populism, or The Decline and Fall of the Little Aussie Battler: Notes on Australian Film Comedy in 2003
Molloy does a toned-down version of his usual blokey schtick, but still seems to be parodying his own lack of acting subtlety, self-consciously an amateur giving it a burl; Franklin, an eternal second banana, is facetiously closed in on himself and mournful, like Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh.
If the film has an emotional centre, it's in the relationship between Molloy's character and Judith Lucy as his ex-girlfriend: the warmth between the pair feels authentic, and Lucy's usual whining performance style is so monotonous it's a startling pleasure to see her express any feeling beyond sarcastic disenchantment.
At the end of the film, after the crime plot is resolved, we see the pair celebrating in their apartment by cracking open a bottle of champagne and dancing to a Sinatra recording; as the song ends, Martin pans across to the city skyline, leaving them to their idyll.
