It's a relentlessly well-meaning film and when it's not proselytising, it's working very hard to manufacture enough laughs to make the whole mix palatable. However, the effort shows.
Rated: 2.5/5

The film is worth seeing for Waters, giving a spirited portrayal of a loving father set in his ways and unable to see that times are changing, and Breeds as his lively, talented, worldly wise daughter.
Rated: 3/5

Elton knows how to locate the laughs in his material - and he's a shameless crowdpleaser - but his emotional reach only goes skin deep.

Three Summers is purely joyous. It's a film that makes me excited and proud to be Australian. It left me with a feeling of hope and pure warmth.

There are too many characters but Elton done a worthy job in weaving the storylines together and creating an entertaining comedy.

Rebecca Breeds is the star of Three Summers and the lone reason to endure it. Any other sensible justification seems scarce.

A yawnsome lecture in diversity and inclusiveness.....which tellingly can't bring itself to include a white male character that displays any independent virtue.

Mostly enjoyable and a good pretext, it passed the time but was overall too vapid and no engagement could be formed with the characters.

I loved this movie, particularly having experienced folk festivals and the quirks of the folky folks - and a great vehicle for Ben Elton to explore some of the Aussie stereotypes, and who we think we are.
Fine performances from Rebecca Breed and Robert Sheehan - I liked his delivery of the Irish view of who claims Irish heritage, and other Elton lines and gags from the supporting cast. I know Morris dancers are an easy target, but Michael Caton did a good job there.

I thoroughly enjoyed Three Summers. It deals with many of the oft not spoken of cultural social and political matters in Australia including the sending of British children to be fostered.

Charming story and pleasant way to spend 90 mins watching the interplay and changing relationships between characters revisiting the same music festival on three consecutive summers....
