Top End Wedding

The tone is not permitted to become too serious and the feelgood ending is never in doubt. We can also be assured that Blair is going to harness all of the Territory's most spectacular features and show them at their most beguiling.

Go out and support this Australian movie, not just because it deserves it but because you deserve it.

Blair's direction demonstrates significant comedic flair - there are many laugh-out-loud moments - even if the script's scruffy elements cramp his style a little.

"Top End Wedding" strains for broad farce in its tonally yo-yoing first half, before relaxing into a gentler, more poignant tale of familial bonding as the forestalled but inevitable nuptials approach.

The first hour of Top End Wedding can be downright annoying in its simplicity and bad screenwriting.

The traditional Tiwi love song heard in the final scenes and the joyous faces of the locals - mixing trained actors with nonprofessionals - make the destination warmly satisfying, even if it's sometimes a rough ride getting there.

A rom-com win that will leave you cheering.

...Top End Wedding is such a welcome breath of fresh air - it tells a love story in a genuinely moving way, with the recognition that weddings aren't about the wedding dress or how good the hors d'oeuvres are.

The performances were solid, the picturesque location shots were awesome and the story had enough laugh-out-loud comedy to make it pleasing.

The entire cast, no matter how minor the role, is delightful and delivers in a way the script consistently fails to do.
