Review:

The Castle is a touching story of one family's fight to keep their home which they call 'their castle'. Living next door to an International airport just outside Melbourne was nmever a problem for the Kerrigan family - until the airport announces its plans to expand, right onto the Kerrigans' land. Not standing for this infringement of their rights the family take the airport to court….

Despite this unhappy story line, the Castle is a laugh a minute, I don't think I stopped laughing right the way through, the jokes just keep on coming. I recommend the Castle to everyone, but especially those who enjoyed 'The Dish' which was shown at Warwick Student Cinema last term. The humour in both is very similar.
