Strange Bedfellows (2004 film)
Strange Bedfellows is a 2004 Australian film directed by Dean Murphy and starring Paul Hogan and Michael Caton as heterosexual men who pass themselves off as a gay couple in order to get financial benefits from the government.In the small Australian town of Yackandandah, Vince owns the local cinema and several other businesses, and is having trouble paying his taxes because his ex-wife got everything.Russell tells the men he was not convinced in the interview, but he believes they are good people with a special relationship and should not be treated like criminals.[4] The suit was withdrawn in April 2008 after the producers of Strange Bedfellows received an early draft of Chuck and Larry that predated their film, thus satisfying that they had not been plagiarised.[6] The Sydney Morning Herald took a negative view of the film, concluding that "[Paul] Hogan's "ordinary bloke" humour was originally based on the fact that he once was one.
