Told in colorful, comedic and musical interludes – with all the pop sensibilities you have come to expect from a PJ Hogan film, MENTAL tells the quirky, comedic and often inspiring story of the Moochmore family. The Moochmore girls are certain they suffer from some kind of undiagnosed neurotic mental issue – because after all, if they're not crazy then they're just unpopular. Unable to cope with her peculiar daughters and Barry (LaPaglia), her unsupportive, philandering politician husband, Shirley (Gibney) lives in the fantastical world of the Family Von Trapp and the songs of The Sound of Music. When her delusions become too much to bear, Barry commits Shirley to a mental hospital and finds himself alone with five teenage girls he barely knows. Desperate, he impulsively picks up an eccentric hitchhiker named Shaz (Collette), who becomes the girls' nanny and transforms their lives with her unconventional beliefs. Shaz is charismatic, hot tempered, inspiring, and completely nuts. However, she proves to be exactly what the Moochmore family needs. If not for a shark hunter (Schreiber) who throws a twist in to their plans, there may just be a happy ending. (Dada Films)

"Mental" is the title of a movie that evokes something. "Mental" means the same thing in English as "mentál" in Czech. In fact, it is possible to translate this title that way. At this point, we get to the heart of the matter because this is truly a movie about lunatics. And by that, I mean it in the most natural sense of the word. The focus of the story is on people who need the help of a psychologist, or even better, a psychiatrist. Yes, there is a difference between them. Several people independently told me this, so I guess I will believe them. One helps and the other has the right to give you electric shocks without having any problems with the law or a guilty conscience. Read more: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/02/mental-2012-45.html
