You'd have to be a comic genius to dig your way out from under such a mess and the script has neglected to supply Dukes with the tools to make it happen.

Rated: 2/5

The Australian

Heath Davis directed and does a very competent job in every department, except for the fact that he obviously wants us to love the decidedly unlovable protagonist.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

As cringe comedies go, Book Week is a pretty solid comedy and worth watching.

Rated: 8/10

Film Inquiry

As another indie small-scale Australian romp, Book Week doesn't quite reach the lofty heights of earlier offerings this year like Ali's Wedding, but it provides an intriguing look at a man in peril and the place of literature in a contemporary context.

There are very good performances all round in this low-budget Aussie ensemble comedy, but with so much going on it's sometimes hard keeping track of all the story threads.

Rated: 2.5/5
