Review of Mulligans (2008) by Liam P — 07 Apr 2009

A "nice" little movie, but definitely no more, Mulligans is the supposedly earnest behind the scenes view of a 'secret that could tear the family apart' - but hardly does, particularly not the way it's presented here, sanitized and in some points more than a little cloying.

The subject matter has, in fact, the raciness and shock value of an ABC After School Special (remember those?!). The acting is by and large ok, if by some a bit wooden and barely believable. The only truly fun and sympathetic character is actually the 8-year old daughter! Typcially mainstream cinema, the production values are high and the landscape scenery spectacular.

But that alone and a few well placed topless shots of Charlie David still don't make for a great picture.
