Even if you think that this might be a girly film, or too intellectual (I did), just go and see it.

Really very very excellent.

Strange choice for playing Edward though - couldn't find an Englishman ?!?!

Not having see it, I looked up who they chose in IMDB. Turns out he was born in England and had an english mother, so he's kind of english. And as he played a drag queen early in his career, he's certainly understands the temperament of the english nobility.

He was in Neighbours. Case closed.

Joking apart, he's a very good actor. I thought that he was great in L.A. Confidential as well as Momento. But he looked too young to me in The King's Speech.

Just been looking at his bio, is that him with the family at the end of The Road? Didn't recognise him at all.

And not just Neighbours, Home and Away as well. Deffo an Aussie.
