Johnny's remarks:

A new Australian movie.

Audrey is a black comedy where Ronnie Lipsick (Jackie van Beek) was a well-known soapie star 20 years ago but gave up her career to be with her husband Cormack (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) and now teenage daughters Norah (Hannah Diviney) and Audrey (Josephine Blazier). Ronnie has transplanted all her dreams onto her eldest daughter Audrey. Things come to head when Audrey skips out on a voice lesson to be with her boyfriend and she and her mother get into a fight resulting in Audrey standing on the roof of their double-story house, which she promptly falls off and ends up in a coma. This should be a dark time for the family but Audrey's disappearance from the family ends up making all their lives better. Ronnie impersonates Audrey and sparks her dead acting career. Cormack finds himself again with the help of self help guide/soft core adult film producer Bourke (Aaron Fa'aoso) and becomes closer to Ronnie and Bourke too. Norah becomes more popular at school and gets closer to Audrey's boyfriend Max (Fraser Anderson). Just as everything is perfect, Audrey wakes and things aren't going to be the same again. OK comedy with an interesting idea but the main protagonist of the movie, Ronnie, is such a selfish, unlikeable character that the movie doesn't quite work because of her. The comedy gets darker the longer the movie goes and maybe too dark by the end with it's somewhat ambiguous ending. Overall, it's not all that bad just not as funny as it could've been.
