This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Unlike the previous reviewers, I enjoyed this light hearted show next to so many dark Australian and British shows. It reminded me in many ways of Gilmore Girls.

Offered on Acorn TV, so I decided to watch the entire first season just to see if it improved. The main character was a ditz and none of the other characters were especially likable. I am stunned that it lasted 3 seasons. I sure won't bother watching anymore.

The writers have gone overboard trying to make this woman appear DUMB. Nobody would try to vacuum up streamers. Nobody is that stupid. Surprised it got a second and third season but then again Offspring has 7 seasons and the main character in that series is very similar. Must be what Australians like to watch.

Second episode aired on ABC TV Australia. May 18th, 2008.The beautiful and talented Kerry Armstrong stars in this mini series as an unfortunate widow, whose husband dies in bed with another woman. Due to mismanagement of their money by the now dead hubby, Kerry (Louisa Atherton) and daughter Holly, wind up at the mercy and scorn of Louisa's mother. Mother and daughter take up residence in a dilapidated house on acreage, trying to make ends meet by taking any job on offer. Holly alienates herself from schoolmates, as she's seen better schools, having been at a private school in Melbourne.I've always enjoyed watching Kerry in shows like the axed 'MDA', pulled at the end of it's second series. 'Bed of Roses', besides having an annoying and repetitive theme song in episode one, is not a series I would have cast Kerry Armstrong in. She's seen as a klutz, who couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag! Disappointing, as she's mostly been seen in confident parts.
