In this small Australian comedy, Michael Caton stars as Darryl Kerrigan, a contented, mildly eccentric family man with an easy laugh and a quick compliment for his wife's cooking. Darryl, his wife, and his four children live in domestic bliss in a ramshackle yet proud domicile neighboring the airport. But that serenity is threatened when the government issues a compulsory acquisition order, which means the Kerrigans must vacate their home to make way for an airport expansion project. And even though he makes a hobby of buying useless junk as long as he gets it for bargain price, no amount of compensation money will convince Darryl to relinquish his "castle," which stores the family's collective memories and symbolizes their unique character. Darryl organizes the other affected neighbors, hires a bumbling attorney/family friend, and pursues his battle in court. However, he soon discovers he needs more than gumption and spitfire earnestness to support a case in front of the magistrates of Australia's high courts. The Castle was the first feature for director Rob Sitch (The Dish), who rose to prominence directing episodes of the satirical Australian television series Frontline. Derek Armstrong, Rovi

This Australian movie is at once a very funny and a feel-good movie. A family who lives next to an airport, and like where they live, is going to fall victim to eminent domain. You may at first feel the family is laughable, but you quickly find out you can only laugh with them, not at them. And what they want is not a laughing matter. Their home is their castle, and they don't want to lose it. What happens makes one laugh and at the same time feel very deeply that the family is being wronged. I cannot give away the outcome without spoiling the movie for you. When I saw this movie at a theater, the audience clapped at the end. It is that good.
