Johnny's comments:

All The Way is a 1999 comedy where after sending off his best friend to marriage, Steve (André Eikmeier) finds out that his mother needs to pay $32,000 in a month to an evil bank manager otherwise she's going to be thrown out on the street. With the help of his friends Danny (Amos Szeps), Mike (Matt Boesenberg), Karrie (Bronwyn Jones) and Robyn (Samantha Murray), they come up with a plan to make a porn movie in 30 days and sell it to make the money. It turns out that making the film is not as easy as they thought but they luck out by gaining access to the honeymoon couples' flat to film it although the religious neighbour is keeping an ear out for them. The evil bank manager cottons on to the plan that Steve has as it turns out that his daughters are the star of said porn movie. Now the bank manager will do anything to stop them saving Steve's mother. Silly low budget comedy but a fairly competently made one that isn't boring and has a fairly funny final act. The plot isn't all that original and the porn aspect shows a strange naïveté about the industry and what is shown of the movie barely looks like something anyone would watch. Then again that isn't the point, the comedy is and while most of the comedy is a miss, it's not a complete wash. The ending has a novel's worth a writing to read which they probably could've found a better way to exhibit.

Most of the sexy stuff is done by minor characters in All The Way and most of the actors are fairly unknown although some like Amos Szeps and Matt Boesenberg have stuck around since. I remember Samantha Murray from the 1993 Western Australian set 60s comedy Love in Limbo which bafflingly has Russell Crowe and Aden Young in supporting roles after they'd broken out. She has a few sexy scenes in that movie, her only ones as far as I know. Amazingly, she's credited as the intimacy coordinator in the new Hellraiser reboot. If you follow the link, you'll also find videos of Allison Cratchley who coincidentally also has a small role in this movie. The credits off IMDB are awful and incomplete but in the movie itself the credits are surprisingly expansive with each character credited with a 'memorable' line of dialogue they said which is incredibly handy particularly when you have no idea who anyone is.
