Wikipedia article




'Emoh Ruo' is a 1985 Australian comedy film directed by Denny Lawrence and starring Joy Smithers and Martin Sacks.

Plot



The Tunkleys move from a caravan park into a suburban home goes wrong.

Reception



Andrew Urban wrote that "Emoh Ruo relies on stereotypes, but it does so with larrikin good humour, and lets us enjoy a big, lowbrow finish." The Sydney Morning Herald stated "Emoh Ruo is a pleasant entertainment, but less than memorable". Writing in Cinema Papers Christine Cremen says "With its lively combination of satire, sentimentality, near-tragedy and pratfall farce, Emoh Ruo resembles one of the better Preston Sturges comedies". Writing in the book 'Australian Film, 1978-1994: A Survey of Theatrical Features' Bruce Sandow states "More light-hearted situation comedy than biting satire, the film has its amusing moments. Competently made and entertaining in a lowbrow way, it has no pretensions to social comment. But its resorting to well-known Australian stereotypes is more often witless than inspired." A review in Variety finishes "Overall, 'Emoh Ruo' might just be the success the Australian film industry is looking for right now".

'Emoh Ruo' was nominated for an AFI Awards for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Genevieve Mooy.
