Product Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: Set in rural New Zealand in the drought-parched summer of 1975, '50 Ways of Saying Fabulous' follows a chubby 12-year-old named Billy (Andrew Paterson) as he embarks on a wearisome journey of sexual discovery. Adapting Graeme Aitken's novel, the writer and director, Stewart Main, convincingly depicts an emotionally immature world; but the movie's insistently playful tone and cheesy fantasy sequences ultimately work against its ambitions, undermining a story that seethes with abuse and sexual obsession.

5.0 out of 5 stars 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous is fabulous, 19 Jan 2010
This review is from: 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
I can't believe it has taken this long for this film to arrive on DVD!

The first time I saw this film was a few years ago at the London Gay & Lesbian Film Festival & it is just as fabulous now!
Funny and bittersweet, it honestly portrays coming of age and dealing with ones sexuality without avoidance of sensitive issues, tackling them face on.

Set in 70's New Zealand the film follows Billy, an overweight, effeminate 13 year-old boy, who with his cousin Lou, a tomboy star rugby player of the school, escapes into his imagination where his alter-ego Lana strives to save the universe with Brad (Lou).

The film ticks over from the point of view of the children, who are the main protagonists, aligning the viewer directly with them and allows you into the world of Billy and Lou which is exempt from adults, but has the boundaries of adulthood all around them.

This film works on so many levels and can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their sexuality, who remembers the difficulties of growing up and going through puberty.

It makes you laugh out loud, helped along by the amusing Kiwi accent, fabulous script and a faux ponytail! It also helps that there is a sexy man who provides the love interest in the film.

All in all........Fabulous!!!

A most enjoyable film especially as it was a New Zealand production! The young actors were very assured and confident!

A GOOD VIEW!!
