A terrific story of friendship, jealousy and suburban life. Good opportunities for discussion about the importance of not judging people by their appearances. An Australian classic. I loved this book all through my childhood. Erica was utterly ridiculous, but you couldn't help siding with her, her family were chaotic, and her school life terribly disappointing. Then, Alison Ashley. How, how I hated her!

We have all had an Alison in our lives, but few redeemable like this one. I loved that Erica developed real talents Although this book is becoming dated oh how technology moves!

In New Orleans to check out a Delta is much clearly a supporting role. She doesn't say much and Saskia is on camera for almost every frame of the movie. Having said, Saskia Burmeister one of the few Jewish Australian actors does a brilliant job as Erica. Her plain-looking but not ugly looks and stroopy sulky face make her a wonderful fit for Erica the only character that stays true to the book description. If not for her age, she would have been almost exactly as I envisioned Erica in the book.
She has the right frowns and sooky expression that makes her perfect. If she was cast when she was 10, she would have been the ultimate Erica Yurken. I hope this movie is remade again, without the need for a "name" star Delta and done with kids who are the right ages pre-high school. In said it was not a success, despite being based on a best-selling book. The hopes to attract more people with a "star" Delta backfired and actually destroyed the film's appeal.
In the novel Lennie was blissfully aware of Erica's rudeness to him, here's he gets hurt and it looses the comedic effect and makes Erica unlikeable. Barry Hollis is not funny and is actually a romantic interest for Erica?! Also she dips the salad bowl on his head rather than Alison's. Is Delta Goodrem to petite that we can't even show that happening to her? In the novel they reference "Prisoner", here it's "Buffy" does everything in this country have to be completely Americanised? Margeart Collins who was so hilarious to the book and gave it good comedy relief is hardly seen at all, while Mr Kennard's role is ridiculously expanded.

Mrs Belmont and Mr Kennard are having a sexual relationship. In fact sex is implied a lot in what is supposed to be a children's film. The library teacher is male and American. I mean honestly, how many Americans do you see in Australia? There are several fantasy scene which seem to serve little purpose than to show off the actress' breasts in sleeveless, tight, revealing clothing. But praise must be given for Saskia's wonderful performance she was nominated for an AFI award and deserved it.
I'm sure she will recover from this flop and go on to bigger and better things. You tried but it didn't work. Give up. Erica Yurken, who's played brilliantly by Saskia Burmeister, is a seemingly over-confident outcast, who believes she's superior to everyone else at her extremely dysfunctional school. Everything she's ever worked for is turned upside down when the "perfect" Alison Ashley from the snobby part of town, joins Erica's class, 9C.
Delta's performance as the apparently flawless Alison Ashley was stiff at times but certainly adequate. It's Saskia Burmeister's performance that steals the show. The supposed ages of the leads are very unconvincing. Am I supposed to believe these people are my age? The best thing about the movie is that it's Australian! It's fantastic the see an Aussie teen flick which my friends and I can relate to so much more than an American equivalent.
The 9C students have textbooks that I have, there are Australian products sold at the canteen, Erica eats a meat pie and there's tomato sauce on her kitchen table! In scenes there's the Westgate Bridge and Melbourne city in the background.
It's fabulous! None of this would obviously ever happen in an American teen flick. The year nines don't speak with American accents or use American slang, have quarter-backs and cheerleaders and there's not even the American flag blowing in the wind in the background. It's just so refreshing to have an Aussie teen movie. I absolutely adore the book written by Robin Klein, so I was very excited when I heard that a movie based on the book was in the making. But I was severely disappointed with the movie when I did see it because it didn't capture what I loved about the book - the absolutely ridiculously funny Erica and the interesting way in which she views the world.
From the start of the movie, I realised that things weren't the same as I had imagined in the book. So, I just went along for the ride. It wasn't all that bad, I guess. Miss Belmont was totally different to what I had imagined her to be! I didn't think she would be one to smoke and drink - Jean Kittson, who plays her, is hilarious! When i walked into the cinema i was worried, very worried. Here i was walking into a film adaptation of a book that i have read literally over 30 times, Klein's classic Hating Alison Ashley. Luckily i had prepared myself. I was prepared for the 11 year old story turned into a 14 year old story played by 19 year-olds.
I was prepared for the more than likely over-hyped, overrated and very average performance of Delta Goodrem. And thats exactly what i got. But there was a little ray of sunshine in the true lead actor, Saskia Burmeister. Her and Jean Kittson absolute legend, brilliant in this film were the reason that i managed to walk into the cinema in the first place.
Seeing Saskia in Wicked Science, The Pact and Thunderstruck, she hit me as someone who had a real talent, and here her talent really shines.

She basically single handedly saves this film, every scene with Goodrem is saved by her. Her portrayal of Yuk is so beautifully accurately done, that in the end it really doesn't matter about the changes made from the book to the film. Apart from the brilliant burmeister, there are some great little performances as well. Kittson of course is at her usual brilliant best, Craig Mclaughlin was a crack up in the small amount of screen time he was given, and even the beefed up role of Barry Hollis Anthony Carpanelli was although different to the book, worked an absolute treat in the film.
So all in all Delta stick to what your good at.. Unlike many of the reviewers, I didn't see anything wrong with Delta's performance, though I do think her true talent is musical. Why are so many people griping about them not looking young enough? People in their early 20s play teens all the time, it's much easier and more economical than getting real teens to do it because of child labour laws. That's probably why they aged the characters up in the first place. Erica might be a bit silly, but Barry is a toad even more so in the movie , and she knows it.
