We have had access to a few New Zealand movies in recent months and I find myself finding films I had never heard of and which are quite good. This Pork Pie remake of an older version is one of them.
I enjoyed it a lot, despite knowing exactly how one major subplot was going to turn out at the end. This often happens in romantic comedies and is easily overcome. In this movie’s case, the fun road trip and car chases — unbelievable but aren’t they all — and various small plot twists and the overriding humor, all make for a great movie to distract you from your real life.
