The timing of the Australian film Diana and Me was unfortunate with the death of the Princess of Wales in August. A re-shoot which bookends the film acknowledges the tragedy. It`s about an Australian girl called Diana Spencer played by Toni Colette who wins a Woman`s Day competition to fly to London for five days with a chance to meet the Princess . Diana`s engaged to Mark - Malcolm Kennard - who works for his Dad`s construction company in Wollongong and he goes with her. Of course it`s all a furphy - the chance to meet Princess Diana is at a luncheon attended by hundreds of other people, Diana finds herself caught up in the melee of the press. A disturbance results and she`s carted off to the local constabulary with papparazo Rob, played by Dominic West. The film is about the very people who made the Princess what she became to millions - the press photographer who chases her all around London for that rare shot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the fan who`s avid for every detail of the Princess`s life. This is a problem, because these two characters are not particularly likeable. Diana is an obsessive and ultimately selfish person; Rob, scruffily handsome, is also obsesssive and ultimately uninteresting. Malcolm Kennard`s Mark is the most likeable of the lot, and Kennard delivers with his performance. I`m not usually a person who notices continuity blunders but there is one major one in Diana and Me that is made all the more obvious because of Toni Collette`s unflattering and eye-catching hairstyle, and the red sneakers she wears must be burned. Director David Parker knows the territory of the film well, he was a stills photographer himself and basically he does a good job with Diana and Me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but as with the performers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he`s working with characters that are neither likeable nor interesting in a romantic comedy that`s neither romantic nor funny.
