There is a reason Love Serenade keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Love Serenade land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Two sisters in an Australian country town develop a fierce and competitive crush on their new neighbour, a brooding and self-centred radio personality. Miranda Otto and Rebecca Frith lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 1996. Love Serenade earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Love Serenade. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Miranda Otto's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
