Dating the Enemy
Introduction
This section of ComedyDownUnder. com is actually created for a university assignment. Do not expect me to make a section like this on every Australian comedy film.
Australian and Worldwide Release
In Australian cinemas, it was released September 19, 1996.
When it was released on video, it originally was only available to rent from Video Ezy. This exclusiveness later changed, though, and is now available to buy from major department stores and available to rent from most video stores.
There is currently no DVD available in Australia and with all of my research, I have not been able to find whether or not Dating the Enemy is planned to be released in that format.
As for a worldwide release, I was unable to find release dates for other countries other than New Zealand and Italy. According to IMDb. com, these dates were 23 January 1997 for New Zealand and 17 August 1999 for Italy (television premiere rather than cinema release).
As far as I can tell without being able to read German, Dating the Enemy has been released in Germany on DVD. It is available for purchase from Amazon. de here .
And this is where you learn to take note of the Amazon. com section on IMDb. com. According to Dating the Enemy 's main page there, the film is not available in the UK or USA on VHS or DVD, but is available in both formats in Germany.
Box Office
Dating the Enemy made a total of $2,506,922 at the box office. My source does not mention if this is Australia only or worldwide, but after comparing the box office details for Priscilla: Queen of the Desert from that source and IMDb. com (despite the latter not having the gross amount for Australia), I would have to say that the $2,506,922 is how much Dating the Enemy made at Australian cinemas only.
I'll assume it's Australian only as The Dish (Sitch, 2000) made more than that in the first weekend it opened in Australia.

Sleeping with the Enemy
Contents
Plot [ edit ]
Laura Burney (Julia Roberts ) lives in a beautiful home by the beach on Cape Cod with her husband, Martin (Patrick Bergin ), a charming, handsome and wealthy investment counselor who is also possessive, abusive, and controlling. It becomes apparent that he has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Laura tries to abide his rules, but suffers under the strain of doing so. One day, Martin believes Laura has been flirting with an attractive neighbor, and he physically assaults her in a jealous rage. The abuse has been ongoing, and started immediately after their wedding. In an effort to escape Martin, Laura plans and fakes her own death at sea in a storm while the couple are boating. Because Laura had deliberately led Martin to believe that she could not swim, he believed she had died once she was lost overboard. However, Laura was able to swim safely to shore, because she had recently taken swimming lessons at the YWCA. Laura secretly returns home, retrieves some clothing and cash she had hidden away in preparation, disguises herself, and leaves home after flushing her wedding ring down the toilet.
Laura moves to Cedar Falls, Iowa. In preparation, she has told Martin that her mother, Chloe Williams (Elizabeth Lawrence), died, and pretended to attend the funeral, but secretly she had moved her to a nursing home in Iowa. She rents a modest house and adopts the name Sara Waters. In Cedar Falls, she meets Ben Woodward (Kevin Anderson ), who teaches drama at University of Northern Iowa. A relationship develops, but suffers a setback when Ben discovers that her real name is not Sara. After a date, Laura is unable to be physically intimate with Ben, and the next day, she confesses that she is on the run from an abusive husband.
Meanwhile, Martin receives a chance phone call from a friend of Laura's from the YWCA and learns of Laura's swimming lessons. His suspicions aroused, Martin heads home and finds Laura's wedding ring in the toilet bowl where it failed to flush. From the Cape Cod nursing home, he learns that Laura's mother is alive, and has her traced to the nursing home in Iowa. He visits Laura's mother and tells her he is a police officer needing information about Laura. He learns from her that Laura is seeing a college drama teacher in Cedar Falls.
Martin finds Laura and Ben at a local fair, then follows her home. After leaving idiosyncratic clues of his presence, around the house for Laura to find, Martin confronts Laura. Ben appears at the front door and Martin, brandishing a gun, threatens to kill Ben if she doesn't make him leave. Laura talks to Ben and he appears to leave, but then he breaks down the door and struggles with Martin, who knocks him unconscious. As Martin points the gun at Ben, Laura distracts Martin then attacks him. He drops the gun and Laura manages to take control of it; she fires at Martin but misses.
Laura holds Martin at gunpoint while she calls the police. She then tells the police that she just killed an intruder, hangs up the phone and shoots Martin three times.
When Martin falls to the ground, she drops the pistol and collapses, sobbing. Martin, not yet dead, picks up the gun and attempts to shoot her, but the gun only clicks empty and he dies. Ben is revived by Laura. They embrace as Martin's dead body lies on the ground with Laura's wedding ring inches from his hand.

Yet another switching bodies movie. but a good one!
22 February 2004 | by TB (Los Angeles, CA) – See all my reviews
I first saw "Dating the Enemy" at a film festival 4 years ago that was showing Aussie films that had never been released in the US. I must admit, I rolled my eyes when I first heard the plot of "Dating the Enemy" but decided it was worth a look to see Guy Pearce in something else besides "Priscilla" and "L. A. Confidential" which were the only films I'd seen him in at the time.
Imagine my surprise at this films funny, clever and original way of examining the strangeness/complexity of relationships between men and women in this modern world. Yes, the plot device of how/why they switch bodies is a bit clumsy, but that can be forgiven, because once this film gets into full swing, it's a hilarious romp and the best by far "body switching" movie I've ever seen. It goes places where a Hollywood movie would never go. I think my fav scene by far is Brett as Tash having sex with his friend and finding out how BAD men can be in bed! Oh, and getting his period. As a woman audience member, you can't help saying, "Ah, HA. See?!" What I also love about this movie, is that the changes that both characters go through are more convincing and realistic than in any other "body switching" movie I've seen. It is especially nice to see Tash come out of her shell after having lived Brett's life. This movie goes beyond the plot gimic in many of these ways. I wait impatiently for it to be released on VHS or DVD here in the US.
I can't go without commenting on the actors. This is the most charming and ironically NORMAL character I've ever seen Guy Pearce play, and I'd love to see him do more parts like this. Also, I instantly became a huge fan of Claudia Karvan. I selfishly wish she were in more projects that come stateside, because I'd love to see more of her. Hopefully she won't be cut out of the Star Wars movie again. )
In short, in spite of some of the minor problems with this film, it is a wonderful film overall, and if you can overlook it's faults, you will fully enjoy it.

Biography
Colbie Caillat welcomes change. Being a Gemini might have something to do with it, or it could just be her innate predilection for progression. Either way, the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum songstress’s fourth album, Gypsy Heart, and EP Gypsy Heart Side A, see her artistically evolve yet again.
“I like change,” she affirms. “I have a hard time picking one thing I love. Gypsy Heart sums up everything I am. I love listening to Bob Marley at the beach, while drinking a kale smoothie in my twenty-dollar Target bathing suit with zero makeup. At the same time, I love having my amazing style. Read more
Colbie Caillat welcomes change. Being a Gemini might have something to do with it, or it could just be her innate predilection for progression. Either way, the Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum songstress’s fourth album, Gypsy Heart, and EP Gypsy Heart Side A, see her artistically evolve yet again.
“I like change,” she affirms. “I have a hard time picking one thing I love. Gypsy Heart sums up everything I am. I love listening to Bob Marley at the beach, while drinking a kale smoothie in my twenty-dollar Target bathing suit with zero makeup. At the same time, I love having my amazing style and hair and makeup team get me ready for shows. Other times, I’ll be dancing to dubstep in my dressing room, while drinking Jameson and eating donuts for breakfast. I’m all of those things. Musically, Gypsy Heart has the singer-songwriter style fans have loved all these years, but it’s more up-tempo with beats and heavy production on some songs. Combining those two sides was my goal.”
She certainly succeeds as well. After 2012’s Christmas in the Sand, she spent the next year tirelessly writing with an acoustic guitar at a cozy house overlooking the beach in Malibu.
“I recorded an entire record inspired by Paul Simon’s Graceland and Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Cecelia’,” she recalls. “After turning it in to my label, they suggested I keep writing and aim for a completely different sound.”
Reluctantly, she agreed to continue writing, and it proved to be the right decision. Teaming up with her “Brighter Than The Sun” collaborator OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder [Adele, Beyoncé]. The two cut the shimmering dance floor anthem “Hold On,” which hinted at what lay on the horizon for Caillat.
“I went down a different path,” she admits. “It was exciting to try something new. The writing sessions that I reluctantly agreed to do, yielded a new creativity—especially once I got in the studio with ‘Babyface’. Songwriting can be an emotional rollercoaster, and that makes it fun for me. It's personal therapy.”
For Gypsy Heart’s campaign song “Try”, she joined forces with Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. Gently plucking an acoustic guitar along to a lush piano melody, the singer makes a powerful statement about female body image. For the lyric video, she enlists both fans and celebrities to appear without makeup, freeing themselves and bravely embracing natural beauty.
“While we were writing, Kenny told me, ‘Stay true to yourself. Don’t let them change you’,” she goes on. “Tony Dixon and Jason Reeves were in the session as well, and they both reiterated, ‘You don’t have to try’. So, I started singing the chorus with the words, ‘You don’t have to try’. It was such a liberating way to start the session and we kept rolling with that message. It explains literally every step a woman takes to get herself ready to go out in public and how exhausting it is. There’s so much we have to do in order to make ourselves ‘beautiful’ so we feel accepted in the public eye. This is an anthem for women to accept who they are and be comfortable showing it and not hiding it from one another.”
Elsewhere on Gypsy Heart, Caillat cuts loose yet again. “Blaze” could very well be the life of the party over an endless summer with its kinetic energy and breezy hook. Written with longtime friend Reeves and David Hodges [Christina Perri, Avril Lavigne], it’s as vibrant as it is vivacious. “When my friends and I get together, we have a blast,” she smiles. “We don’t do anything crazy, but we do know how to have fun! Sometimes, we end up dancing on tables. It’s a song about what we do!”
At the same time, “If You Love Me Let Me Go” examines a breakup with poetic lyrics and her striking vocal delivery. “It’s that story everyone’s gone through,” she says. “You break up with someone, yet you’re dating them again. It’s a confusing thing. It’s so much worse to do that to yourself though. If you love me, let me go. Stop torturing me and keeping me around just a little bit longer, if we’re not going to last forever.”
During “Live It Up”, Caillat confronts stage fright and her struggles to overcome it even after eight years of professionally performing. The chorus is her personal reminder before every show. Meanwhile, “Never Gonna Let You Down” remains the song everyone loved the most from the first sessions in Malibu. However, “Babyface” put his own stamp on it. “Along with ‘Try’, I think it’s one of the songs my fans will relate to the most,” she continues. “I love the crisp folk lean to the song. I can honestly say Kenny is my favorite all-time producer. He’s unpredictable and thorough, and he can also brilliantly produce any genre you ask him to.”
Caillat’s music lasts forever. To date, she has been honored with Two Grammy Awards and sold over six million albums and ten million singles worldwide. Her breakthrough hit “Bubbly” remains "one of the best-selling digital tracks in history" and her multi-platinum debut COCO hit #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart upon release, while her sophomore set Breakthrough landed at #1. From 2011’s All of You, “Brighter Than The Sun” went platinum and enjoyed over twenty film and television placements, while seeing acclaim from People and NY Post. She’s also played sold out venues everywhere alongside everybody from John Mayer to Sheryl Crow. Beyond music, she’s an avowed spokesperson and supporter for the The Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA, Farm Sanctuary, Surfrider Foundation, and Save The Music.
Still, at the end of the day, Colbie always challenges herself as a writer, regardless of which direction she travels. “I just want to write songs that stay with people,” she concludes. “If fans can listen to my music on repeat, that’s amazing. And play my songs during memorable moments in their life, I know I want that more than anything.”
