Product Description

To his neighbours, Malcolm is merely the strange neighborhood recluse. However, Malcolm is also a secret mechanical genius! After taking in two lodgers to help pay the bills, one of them - Frank, played by John Hargreaves - soon spots Malcolm's potential and decides he is just the man to help him plan the perfect bank robbery... One of Australia's best-loved films, Malcolm is a comedy gem from start to finish!

5.0 out of 5 stars geeky genius masterminds litter bin-assisted bank robbery 29 April 2000
By guiny@mcmail.com
Format:VHS Tape
one of those films that is so funny and original that it is occasionally aired late-night on BBC2.If you have ever (or indeed never)dreamed of having a train-set bring your post into your house or wondered about the logistics of robbing a bank with a remote-controlled car then this is the film for you. Also featuring a cracking soundtrack by the penguin cafe orchestra.

5.0 out of 5 stars When you're feeling sad... 7 July 2003
By "thekungfudetective"
Format:VHS Tape
A film to watch when you've been dumped or just plain dumped on and feeling miserable and sorry for yourself. This film is for you. Gentle, heartwarming and yet genuinely black and funny. Just when you think something really bad is going to happen, it doesn't. The Penguin Cafe soundtrack suits it to a tee. Lose yourself for 90 minutes and afterwards life doesn't seem so bad. Just quirky.

5.0 out of 5 stars undiagnosed aspie 24 Jan 2007
By Anniesotropic
Format:DVD
I first saw this film at the Dublin film festival in 1986 - and that remains the only time I've witnessed a standing ovation in a cinema.
Released in the same year as Crocodile Dundee, it looks a bit dated now, and to be honest, was never intended to be slick or fashionable. It's innocent, likable slapstick humour built around the oddball abilities of the title character, who is based on the director's (late) brother. A socially-disabled mechanical genius, Malcolm loses his job and so he reluctantly takes in a lodger. Initially dismissive of Malcolm, the lodger begins to recognise and appreciate his talents, and finally warms to him as the pair pull off a caricature of a bank robbery, and make an unlikely escape. Malcolm would undoubtedly receive a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome today, and could be compared to Forrest Gump, albeit Malcolm is more mischievous and much less sentimental. The soundtrack, by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, is also excellent and contributes much to the fun and energy of this film.
