Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 02/10/2012
3/5
The whole thing made me nostalgic for Working Dog's sharper days when they would surely have perpetrated all sorts of wickedness at Ben's expense. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The Working Dog writing group's collaboration feels so organic. This is searching, vulnerable, dramatic, comedy. Go to Full Review
Cameron Williams The Popcorn Junkie 03/08/2012
0.5/5
It's a film made for the 1% who question their sweet life while sitting on a gold plated toilet. Go to Full Review
Tim Martain The Mercury (Australia) 02/11/2012
3.5/5
While the film does have its flaws story-wise, the killer dialogue with its uniquely Australian style of wit makes it a true joy to watch. Go to Full Review
Julie Rigg MovieTime, ABC Radio National 02/10/2012
Any Questions for Ben? is watchable enough. But it could have been so much more. Go to Full Review
Peter Galvin sbs.com.au 02/10/2012
2.5/5
It's full of the kind of fake insights and sanctimonious crap to be found in magazine self-help columns. Pity, because that's a real fun killer. Go to Full Review

06/05/2017 One of those movies that through its insistence that you sympathise with the main character's existential crisis instead leaves you actively rooting for his total failure in all aspects of life. There are a few amusing secondary performances. Ed Kavalee. John Howard. That's about it. See more 01/30/2015 Funny and slightly moving with a great script and lead performance. Full review later. See more 01/26/2014 One Big Promotional Piece For Melbourne Tourism Courtesy Of Emirates Airlines..The Final Scene In Abu-Dhubi Was Pointless & The Ump-Teenth Number Of Musical Montages Did My Head In. Avoid!! See more 11/25/2013 Awful. Not funny, not clever, not witty, not insightful... not enjoyable at all. Good thing I was expecting as much... it IS Aussie after all :-P Sure sometimes we strike gold with the likes of 'The Castle' (depressing that many of the same people were responsible for this), 'Priscilla', 'Muriel's Wedding', 'Wolf Creek' or 'The Loved Ones' (actually our horror is usually pretty good), 'Chopper' etc, but for the most part, Aussie = avoid. ... and what the hell is playing a (different) song every... single... time there's no dialogue. Trying to sell a soundtrack? Started to get annoying. See more 08/22/2013 Good movie, it kept me engaged. Did not play out the way I expected it to. Good moral tale, that proves sometimes having it all, it not entirely the truth See more 06/25/2013 Not much happening in the way of a story line. I couldn't really care less about any of these characters. Ben has a nice life, a good job, good friends, and yet he's still unhappy with his lot. He has a few flings, but he can't commit. Until he does. That's pretty much it. See more Read all reviews
