Castle Review , by Josie Ernst -
The castle is an upbeat comedy filled with many satirical moments. The film caught the attention of the audience at the 1998 Sundance film festival. Seen as the film was a crowd favorite, Miramax forked out enough money to obtain the rights after which left the prints on the shelf for over nearly one year.

"its the vibe man" is one of the many humorous quotes and sayings that the film explores. Directed by Rob Sitch the film features around the Kerrigan family, a family that loves to love everything. Michael Caton plays Darryl Kerrigan the most happiest and easy-pleased homeowner in Australia.

His house is built right next door to the airport and a high voltage tower is located on the other side. Darryl lives with his beloved wife Sal, played by Anne Tenney. Plus his two sons Dale and Steve the "ideas man of the family".

The airport is looking to expand under an agreement with the government. And their is one thing standing in their way, "The Kerrigans Castle". Although they were offered a generous sum of money, Darryl wont have a bar of it. He hires Dennis Denuto a half-wit solicitor who knows nothing. with the help of Lawrence Hammill played by Charles"bud" Tingwell, all is not lost and the Kerrigans retain their castle.

The castle is a well directed film with a remarkable cast characters and a unique storyline that is sure fire win if you're looking for a laugh.
