It's difficult to like a movie where the majority of the main characters are complete dim-wits. Take case in point, Australian movie "Wish you were here" directed by Kieran Darcy-Smith. As has often become the case the actors seem competent and believable in their emotions and reactions. However script and filmmakers have the lead triangle of characters, especially Joel Edgerton's "Dave" as getting what they deserve. Are we supposed to feel sympathy for tourists who fail to protect themselves in foreign lands. Late in the movie, Edgerton is trying to vent his sadness, he wails and sobs to his wife, but merits nothing but disgust. He is solely to blame and a complete fool. Anyway, additionally soundtrack music was obtrusive and grating. This is another lost story that had potential. Not recommended 5/10
