Win Mary & Max double movie passes

We have five double in-season passes to Mary & Max to give away to Lasoo members.

Mary & Max is a Claymation feature film from the creators of the Academy Award-winning short animation Harvie Krumpet.

It is a simple tale of pen-friendship between two very different people: Mary Dinkle, a chubby, lonely eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max Horovitz, a 44-year-old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York.

Spanning 20 years and two continents, Mary and Max’s friendship survives much more than the average diet of life’s ups and downs. The film takes us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual difference, trust, copulating dogs, religious difference, agoraphobia and more.

To be in the running to win a double pass to see Mary & Max, tell us in 25 words or less using the comment form below why you want to see this film. The best answers will win. You must submit an email address to enter the competition, however your email address won’t be visible to anyone else.

The competition closes next Thursday.

Life is sometimes more real than it appears!

I'd love LASOOing a double pass,
Reviews rate it top of the class.
Films this good are pretty sparse.
I'll enjoy relaxing on my ...bottom!

Ann-Marie

I love claymation movies. Love Wallace and Gromit. It lets the kid inside this adult body have a bit of fun.

J Pearce

I'd love to see this alternative film with my son to show him how different people can still have friends, not just the cool ones like at school.

Amanda B

Sydney girl meets NZ guy via the radio. 20yrs later still have not met.One a Fireman, one in IT, but loving life's challenges and questions.

this story with so much emotion.

I'd like to take my kids to a movie that shows that someone who is "different" is not better or worse, just different.

lilrainbow

Monica

To hear Phillip Seymour Hofmann. I make it my duty not to miss any performance of his!

graeme hower

To shape, to design, to imagine, to create...what a powerful thing to watch!

Christine Williams

Used to waking and seeing what looks like a lump of clay next to me, But Hubby isn't nearly as entertaining as "Mary and Max".

Judi Missen

It seems like my life, except in plasticine!

Ann

Adam Elliott's creations are CHUNKY WONKY, exactly how I feel on a fat day. I wanna sit and laugh at characters with feet of clay.

Harvie Krumpet by Adam Elliot's was just beautiful, and i would love to see his wonderful new picture Mary & Max, what brilliant animation!

jemrulz

Max & Mary I must see
Clay animation it be!
2 very different continents, 2 very different lives,
yet through such vast adversity, 22 years of friendship survives!

Miri Gere

Sick and tired of the silly comedies, the predictable love stories and banal chick flicks, I believe this one is intelligent, engaging , satisfying and topical.
