Mullet - Ben Mendelsohn, Susie Porter, Andrew S Gilbert, David Caesar

Family are like mullet. You just can't throw them back.
Life in the small NSW coastal fishing town of Coollawarra is disrupted when former football hero and local larrikin Eddie "Mullet" Maloney (Ben Mendelsohn) returns to face everything that he walked out on three years ago.
At first, things seem to be just as Mullet left them. His dad Col (Tony Barry) is still coaching the local footy team and "happily" not speaking to his mum, Gwen (Kris McQuade), who is just as "happy". His older brother Pete (Andrew S Gilbert) is still the incorruptible local cop, still the all-round nice guy who Mullet thought was bound to finish last. Kay (Belinda McClory) still serves beers down the pub, and still looks for love in all the wrong places, trying to extinguish that torch she still carries for Mullet. And the old row boat is just where Mullet left it, by the river near the old caravan.

However, Mullet quickly discovers that all is not the same and people have moved on. Especially his old flame, Tully (Susie Porter), the feisty young woman he walked out on three years ago and who is now married. Slowly trouble starts to mount. Mullet turns on his mates, estranges his parents and takes the daring step of calling on Tully, placing doubt in her mind about her marriage.

Solution...

A good old Aussie BBQ - beers and burnt meat. If everyone can all act "nice and normal" everything will be fine...
