In the wake of their surprise hit
Malcolm, Australian screenwriter/photographer
David Parker and director
Nadia Tass concocted an equally delightful follow-up,
Rikky & Pete. Rikky (
Nina Landis) and her brother
Pete (
Stephen Kearney), feeling like misfits in their hometown (as indeed they are), head for a remote mining community. Here it is hoped that
Rikky will at last discern her direction in life, and that
Pete can work on his
Rube Goldberg-ish inventions in peace. Well, now, if everything went as planned, there wouldn't be any movie, would there? Not quite as fresh and spontaneous as
Malcolm,
Rikky and Pete still possesses an eccentric charm all its own. Be advised, however, that the film is rated R, and may not be altogether appropriate for kids.
