How Wonderful

About This Movie

How Wonderful is quite the gem from 1990. It offers this candid and often uproarious view of pregnancy, which isn't something you see every day. The performances by the ensemble of Australian actors bring a unique charm to the film, capturing both the hilarity and the awkwardness of expecting a child. It’s all about the little moments, those awkward laughs and genuine touches that really resonate. The pacing has a nice rhythm, allowing for both comedic beats and sincere emotional moments to breathe. It’s a film that stands out, not just for its subject matter, but for its honest portrayal of what it means to be on the brink of parenthood.

How Wonderful has seen a bit of a niche following among collectors, particularly those interested in Australian cinema. It originally had limited releases on VHS and hasn't made a significant leap into the digital realm, which contributes to its scarcity. The unique take on a universally relatable theme gives it a distinct place in the collection, and fans of character-driven comedies often find themselves drawn to it.
