Review of Malcolm

Malcolm (1986)
6/10
Home grown comedy is delightful
7 October 2007
Delightful Australian comedy about simple-minded genius 'Malcolm' and his misadventures in crime, with his partners/boarders 'Frank' and 'Judith'.

Filmed in inner suburban Melbourne, this film will really strike a chord with local audiences. Director Nadia Tass has kept the movie very light hearted, and very Australian, as the cast deliver comic scenes of real hilarity. Much kudos too goes to writer David Parker. Colin Friels is wonderful as 'Malcolm', and his supporting cast are also very good. John Hargreaves and Lindy Davies play off each other beautifully. Not to be missed by Melburnians, nor comedy fans.

Nadia Tass' disarming comedy is delightfully acted out by Friels (as the reserved genius 'Malcolm') and both John Hargreaves and Lindy Davies (as the typical Aussie working class couple).

The gadgetry is fun, the scenery wonderfully close to home (inner suburban Melbourne) and the comedy very effective. Good fun all round.
