A good laugh if you don't take it seriously

An average guy uses gags and pranks to liven up his blue-collar life & accidentally ends up taking off in a deck chair strapped to giant helium-filled balloons while his friends watch helplessly from below. (Based on a true story) He starts a whole new life in the far-off town where he crash lands... until his old life catches up to him. Rhys Ifans & Miranda Otto both gell very well in this romantic comedy. The special effects are very good and the film is well worth a view.
