Many catch-phrases from the film have entered the Australian vernacular, including Tell him he’s dreaming’, ‘This is going straight to the pool room’ and ‘Feel the serenity’. The film captured the language and obsessions of a very average Aussie family, who try to hold on to their modest house right next to and airport. This film is a hilarious, affectionate look at Australian working-class life, poking gentle fun at many of our habits and concerns. Starring Academy Award-nominee Sean Astin ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "50 First Dates"), Emmy-winner Joe Pantoliano (TV's "The Soprano's," "The Matrix"), Academy Award-nominee Anne Ramsey ("Throw Mamma From the Train," "Scrooged"), Emmy-nominee Martha Plimpton ("Running on Empty," "Parenthood"), Corey Feldman ("The Lost Boys," "Stand By Me"), Kerri Green ("Lucas," "Summer Rental"), Josh Brolin ("Into the Blue," "Hollow Man") and Robert Davi ("Hot Chick," "Die Hard").A family of battlers, living on the flight path, near a major airport, tries to save their beloved humble home from development. When a group of ordinary kids discover a secret treasure map, their sleepy seaport lives are suddenly transformed into a fun-filled, roller-coaster ride filled with heart-pounding adventure and peril. The combined talents of two of today's most prominent filmmakers - Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Steven Spielberg ("Munich," "War of the Worlds") and Richard Donner ("16 Blocks," "Lethal Weapon") - created this box office hit that delights the young and the young at heart. This modern fairy tale proves you don't need a fairy godmother to make magic happen, or to have a happy ending! When teen pop sensation Joey Parker returns to Beverly Hills High to finish up school like a "normal" teen, the stage is set for a masquerade dance, mistaken identity, and a search for the girl who dropped her iPod (the modern equivalent of a glass slipper) while fleeing from the dance. After years of abuse at the wicked trio's hands, Mary, now a junior at ritzy Beverly Hills High School, is counting down the days until her dance audition for the prestigious Manhattan Academy of Performing Arts, where she hopes to transfer for a bright future away from Dominique and her over-demanding brood. Set around the modern world of the music business, the classic fairy tale "Cinderella" is recast with Mary Santiago, a natural-born dancer at heart, as the orphaned, put-upon princess-to-be, working for cruel pop star Dominique and her two horrible daughters, Britt and Bree.

This holiday season, Buddy goes looking for his true place in the world-in New York City. Raised as an elf, Buddy grows into an adult three times larger than the biggest elf-and realizes that he will never truly fit in at the North Pole.
