Overrated

Good start, but then it gets ruined

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I've never reviewed a film on here before, however I really feel compelled to write a review of this film. Normally my general feelings for a film will be reflected in it's IMDb score, averaged over 1000s of users. However for Any Questions For Ben, I would rate this much much higher than a <6. It's a great, easy to watch comedy, which much deeper messages. I believe this film appears to the 20/30 something professionals, who have coasted along in life and found themselves somewhere they didn't originally think they'd be. It's funny, and charming, and quick paced. The editing is fine. I have absolutely no idea what all the bad reviews on editing are about. It's not massive budget Hollywood but it's extremely well done I think. I never got bored, I empathised with the characters, I enjoyed the excellent and appropriate soundtrack.. I found many of the conversations between different characters spot on, and underneath some of the lighthearted dialogue there's a much deeper message. This film is great. Just give it a watch.

I really enjoyed this film for a lazy winters Friday night .. Of course being from Melb it's always fun to watch movies made near home, I will agree not the most amazing cinematography and the story line or way scenes were constructed didn't really flow. Some of the music tracks are not timed well.. Having said that very entertaining, made me smile and did make me want to fall in love with some good quotes about life and commitment evoking feelings of nostalgia. I guess being 28 myself can relate a lot to the story and becoming relationship focused! The dude is 30 playing a 27 yr old so it's not as far fetched as others claim..It would be great to see more Aussie films in future that go the next level, but heading in the right direction.

"Any questions for Ben" is one of those quintessentially Australian offerings - a realistic film about real life people living in a real life world, and asking every day real life questions about their own lives.The main character, Ben (a fantastic portrayal of a twenty-something playboy searching for the meaning of life, by actor Josh Lawson) seems to have it all - great job, wads of cash, gorgeous girlfriends, fast cars, partying mates, etc. etc.When he is invited back to his old school to talk about his career to the next generation of job seekers his life seems complete - but it is this event that sets him off on a quest to find more meaning in what he begins to see as his superficial existence.There is a wonderful supporting cast including a best mate who loves to party but lacks any trace of emotional intelligence (Andy, played by Christian Clark), a second bestie (Nick, played by Daniel Henshall) who envies Ben's lifestyle but is not much of a party animal himself (".....seems a bit weird to be the designated driver on your bucks night...") and Ben's ultimate love interest, Alex, a beauty both inside and out with a brain to match, played by the lovely Rachel Taylor, of whom I am sure we will be seeing a lot more (Nicole Kidman comes to mind).The beautiful city of Melbourne makes a stunning backdrop to this thoughtful movie which will make you laugh a bit (especially the scene that rolls during the credits) and possibly cry a little - but overall you should feel that it was a very worthwhile experience.

Don't bother watching this movie unless you want to watch a narcissistic rich boy complaining about his almost perfect life and how hard it is, and sit through the worst editing you have ever seen used in a film...then go ahead :)So apparently I have to have 10 lines of text so I'll continue by telling you about how terrible the love interest (played by Rachel Taylor) is. Throughout the whole movie, Ben is blowing her off and screwing her around CONSTANTLY and every single time she just forgives him, just like that. I mean REALLY!Has it been 10 lines yet?
