In the great Australian suburbia some things never change...
Meet the Tunkleys - they live in a war zone... their first home!
After an unfortunate incident, and after being seduced by an immensely funny parody of a TV Home Loan commercial, they decide to build a "dream home" of their own. Being completely innocent of such matters, they therefore become victims of builders, real estate salesmen, the bank, of tradition, of society, and even of their own families.
They don't cope at all well to start (he loses his job and she becomes quite neurotic); although all crises are happily resolved in the end, even if in a somewhat unexpected way.Unlike some other very funny movies, this one has a coherent plot, a believable (for a comedy) storyline; and some actual depth to the characters.
It's more than a collection of gags strung together. It's a wry commentary on what was a reality to many people of the day. In many ways, a political cartoon made into a movie.
Special Features:
- Producer David Elfick remembers the construction of Emoh Ruo
- Writers David Poltorak and Paul Leadon reminisce about how the building blocks came together
- Theatrical Trailer
- Making "Weekend of Summer Last"
