This is Australian humour at its best. In fact, this is any humour at its best! The Castle is a delight from start to finish. It is indeed a tale of an ordinary family with an extraordinary story!

The Castle centres around the Kerrigan family, who happen to live right next to an airport. They are blissfully happy, but their world is rocked when they are served a compulsory acquisition notice by the Government and airport authorities, and they have to face being forced to leave their beloved home.

It’s the simple charm and uncomplicated humour that makes this film such a joy. It can’t really be explained in a review; you just have to watch it for yourself. And I recommend that you do!

P.S. Keep a look out for all of Sal’s handicraft around the house!
