THE CASTLE, a 1997 Australian release, is the slight, silly, and
ultimately sentimental story of a white trash family who, along
with their neighbors, are threatened with eviction from their cher-
ished (by them) end-of- the-runway real estate. Eh, it's cute,
though the repetitive humor and a not-quite-condescending tone makes
for a rather long hour-and- a-half. With Michael Caton, Anne Ten-
ney, Stephen Curry, Anthony Simcoe, Sophie Lee, Wayne Hope, Tiriel
Mora, and Charles 'Bud' Tingwell. Rob Sitch directs and co-wrote.
