Miranda otto is hot, rhys is a great comedian and a fabulous aussie cast.

Absolute load of garbage. You must have seen a different movie to the one I saw.
As for the score - worst I have ever heard. How could you dredge up a worse pile of dross?
Portrays Australians to be a bunch of simple morons who are easily duped by anyone who has a nice word for them, drinks a beer, or can lay bricks.
Give us a break and fund something worthwhile next time.
If you've noticed, all movies include stereotypes and innacurate portrayals of people from certain cultures. Not trying to sound rude or anything, but that's just how they are.
shareI haven't seen this movie yet...but come on.....even the title sucks."Danny Deckchair"......What a moronice piece of crap on a stick frying on the barbecue...AND I HAVENT EVEN SEEN IT! Disgrace to all movie go see....Collateral, Spiderman2, Bournce Supremacy, or the Village.........................But not this pice of $hit..............................

Obviously your 'egging on' for a angry abusive reply that will cause an endless stream of back chatting.
No.
Just "dont knock it till you try it".

Just released, limited here in US, hoping will pop up here in Utah so I can see it, thanks for the good review - if I can't catch it in theatre, i'll grab it on DVD!
I enjoy Rhys and Miranda in their previous works, it sounds like I'll enjoy them in this as well.

I saw the movie tonight after getting free passes at a local coffee shop. I will admit, I didn't expect much from it. With a name like "Danny Deckchair" I didn't expect anything but 90+ minutes of free AC. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Yes, you could see a lot of the conflict of the movie coming a mile away, and yes, the vehicles they used to get you to the end have been used countless times, but it was a wonderful movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would watch it again. Don't let the name turn you off, it's the worst part of the movie.
shareLOL yes... I wasn't exactly turned on by the title either, they should have named it "Danny AND his Deckchair" or something along the lines of that.
shareI don't care if everyone likes this movie, but these people bashing it are mostly people who haven't even seen it. I really liked it and am sorry I hadn't been expecting much from it.
Doesn't the title come from what the news reporters were calling him?
Yes, the title does. I thought this was a very cute and funny movie. :)
shareThis is a pffffttt to the folks that didn't enjoy this bit of escapism. The characters were so out there, and the idea of being able to get out of your crappy life and get near real people is far too appealing. This DVD which I luckily found on EBAY is a permanent resident of my DVD player. When I get down, I switch it on.
GO DANNY!
And Rhys ain't half bad either.
I'll tell you what, I'm an avid movie watcher and collector, and I loved Danny Deckchair! I stumbled across this jewel in the $4.99 bin at my local video store, and bought it only because it was cheap and had a decent cast. I was so pleasantly suprised with this movie I have done something I NEVER do, recommended it and LOANED it out to several friends. That is probably the most respect I could give this, or any film. By the way, everyone who took up my offer absolutly loved it! The U.S. is kind of used to being the "movie mill", it's so refreshing to see this great of a film come from outside of Hollywood.
Looking for deals on bulk helium in Florida;)
While not being the apex of cinema, 'Danny Deckchair' is an awesome movie. Even though you can see the plot coming a mile away, the movie is still alot of fun. Can't believe I waited 2 years to see it, but since everything else in my local video stores is either garbage, or I've seen it, this was a very warm, welcome surprise. Two opposable-thumbs up.

replying to a 4 year old thread but anyway- I love this movie! just fantasticly strange ...and funny :D
shareI loved this movie. No, its not gonna win any oscars but it is what it is- a cute film. I haven't seen many australian films but from what i've seen i really like them-one of my favourites being Muriels wedding. Can anyone reccommend any more films like this (australian or other)-where the 'loser' realises that they are better than they give themselves credit for?
sharehey look, a reply to a 7 year old post! but I just watched the film this evening, and found it really charming. another "losers" know whats really important in life australian comedy is "the castle". i dont know if it's on dd, but it's on netflix streaming. i quite enjoyed that one
