Our take

Workmates is a warm workplace comedy about two friends whose underfunded theatre hits a crisis and whose feelings may not stay platonic. Coarse language, some drug use, and adult romantic tension come with the territory. An accident threatens the venue without turning the film into an injury thriller. We land at 13 and up because the mature comedy tone matches an M romcom more than a kids film

Uplifting themes

Friendship, creative grit, and choosing what matters when money runs out sit at the heart. The film roots for sticking with people and making art anyway Lucy fights hard for the theatre and for her mate when everything starts falling apart. Both leads also dodge feelings and adult responsibilities along the way

Story (may spoil tone)

Lucy and Tom are best mates running a tiny, broke theatre. But when an accident forces them to shut down and Tom threatens to leave, Lucy realises she would do anything to save the theatre and keep her friend... who she might be in love with.

Offensive language is part of the mature comedy tone around a scrappy theatre company. Mates trade coarse banter in short bursts, not a nonstop torrent of swearing

Romance and maybe-more-than-friends tension drive the story between longtime workmates. Kissing and adult attraction stay in warm romcom territory

Drug use is flagged for mature audiences alongside the workplace chaos and late nights. It sits as adult colour in a comedy about saving a beloved theatre

Talk after watching

  • Lucy would do almost anything to keep the theatre and Tom. When does loyalty tip into refusing to let someone grow?
  • Money pressure forces a choice between passion work and stability. How would your family weigh those?
