I hope you see my reply because I know a couple movies very similar.

Gretchen indie comedy
Dog Fight drama
Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion comedy

These deal with similar themes but have different styles between them.

YEAR OF THE DOG with Molly Shannon-- about a lonely, socially awkward
woman; drama with comedic elements.

HAROLD AND MAUDE--hilarious, but dark and ultimately touching.


I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

Another good Australian one is "Strictly Ballroom" about a guy who competes in competitive ballroom dancing but wants to do his own steps, though that is against the rules. His partner quits on him and he has to find a new one. I really enjoyed it. I think it's from '92. It has Paul Mercurio in it. He is older now and looks a bit different these days but in this movie he was very good looking.

I agree! Strictly Ballroom is another Australian film that I enjoyed as much as this one.

I think you should also try "In her shoes". great movie. it also has toni collette with cameron diaz
also see "the holiday"

reply

Little Miss Sunshine, with Toni Collette, or Mama Mia! Which was inspired on this movie.

reply

"A Very Long Engagement" - It's my favorite foreign film.
