Perfect cast and a good story

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I didn't have much patience for this movie. I was expecting something quite different but instead found it pretty annoying. The main character was uninspiring, selfish and a bitchy old housewife. She was a terrible mother to two bratty twin boys with severe discipline problems. I don't know why she even had kids, she was utterly depressing.The concepts just not working. You cannot honestly tell me people would actually watch her VLOG channel. She's just not a star and not as funny as she likes to think.It was also incredibly odd to see the cast break out into song and dance. Maybe if they just focused on her musical videos instead of trying to turn the whole thing into an awkward musical it may have been better. But then again, probably not.

I just watched this film while folding all my laundry and I loved it!! What a fun loving and enjoyable movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon. This film is clever, witty and understanding of a full time mothers struggles, triumphs and moments of doubt. I love the moments of a movie that are full of honesty and genuinely give you a good laugh and this film begins with one!! Full of wonderful Australian actors and a few of our fair nations beautiful sights and cities. The honesty I spoke about is evident throughout the entire film while following Elspeth on her journey to stardom. 'Goddess' is just an all round feel good, entertaining and funny movie:) I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a heartfelt colourful film :)

Well, I have never written a review before, but after just seeing it at the Orpheum and chatting over it with friends, six of the seven of us really enjoyed it. At first I though we had a 'chick - flick' on our hands (well it is) and was prepared for a a bit of shut eye. It was however well worth seeing. The film warms up well and had me engaged completely from about fifteen minutes in.Its a story about life, relationships, choices and sacrifices made, played out is a pleasing way. I kept on feeling the plot was going to turn down a less savory/disappointing path and it did not. The end result was better than that.The wardrobe showed a very retro fifties/sixties feel and like the movie was light and fun.It was light and fun ! The music was original, and performances excellent. My wife was very impressed with Dustin Claire, recently on TV's Spartacus. He sings pretty well too.Magda Szubanski is a bit of an Aussie icon, and she was great, cast into her role brilliantly.It was a musical, and I usually avoid musicals, but the sung parts were key to the movie, ie they didn't feel tacked on, and performed well.I liked it, and it is worth seeing, but take your wife/girlfriend !

We really enjoyed this charming feel good film. The characters, songs and performances combine to take you on a whirlwind journey that doesn't fail to deliver. Laura and Ronan are refreshingly natural and there is real chemistry between them. Magda is an absolute hoot and the film just looks and feels great.The music is especially enjoyable and it's great to see a musical with fabulous original songs rather than relying on a collection of cliché sixties hits or old number ones. This films feels original from the ground up and that's one of the reasons we liked it so much! As well as the leads there is a great supporting cast cameos that are truly delightful.
