Notes: Fox comedy that performer strongly due to a high proportion of Saturdays (16th overall) and (for a Hoyts release) full weeks.Widely played (25th most engagements and 23rd most travelled film) its 300+ EF points placed it in the top 60 for the year. The Blind Goddess carried the support role for much of the suburban journey.
