Any Questions for Ben?
Any Questions for Ben? (also released in some countries as Until She Came Along) is a 2012 Australian dramedy film created by Working Dog Productions, directed by Rob Sitch. It tells the story of Ben, a wealthy millennial living in Melbourne who is constantly quitting jobs, moving house, changing partners and travelling internationally. When he attends a school reunion to give a speech about his achievements, he realises he is dissatisfied with life but is also reunited with Alex, who now works as a human rights lawyer for the UN in Yemen. As their relationship progresses and Ben goes through various difficulties, Alex travels between Melbourne and Yemen eight times throughout the film.
Any Questions for Ben? stars Josh Lawson, Rachael Taylor, Felicity Ward, Daniel Henshall, and Christian Clark. It was written by Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, and Rob Sitch.
Ben North (Josh Lawson) is a highly-paid 27-year-old marketing creative who lives in a large inner-city apartment in Curtin House on Swanston Street in Melbourne's CBD with his flatmates, Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Andy (Christian Clark). Ben is presented as a typical millennial as he is prone to frequently changing jobs and moving house just because he feels like it. He is also sexually promiscuous and romantically non-committal.
The film opens with Ben attending a launch party for "Minsk Vodka", which he has rebranded with a Russian theme despite the fact it is actually from New Zealand. While at this party, he meets and sets up a date with a woman named Fleur (Chantelle Raleigh) who is working at the event as a runway model. As the night winds up, Ben tells his boss that he is planning to quit.
Ben's last day at his current job is also his birthday. His office throws a farewell party for him, though they note that he has only worked there for seven months. Only his colleague Katey (Emma-Louise Wilson) realises that it is also his birthday. She attempts to seduce Ben in his office as he is on his way out, but he rebuffs her since he has a date with Fleur that evening and believes there is the prospect of a serious relationship. When he arrives to meet Fleur at a cafe in Degraves Street, he has already forgotten her name. Afterwards, he parts ways with Fleur and goes on a shopping spree alone. Later that night, he arrives back at his apartment to find dozens of his friends have arranged a surprise birthday party. Among the other guests are Ben's mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme), Nick's girlfriend, Em (Felicity Ward) and Ben's ex-girlfriend Steph (Virginia Bowers), who is never seen again. Fleur also arrives later. Em gifts Ben with some photo frames, and tells him he'll now to have to make some memories worthy of putting in them. We also learn that this is Ben's seventh apartment in five years.
Later, Ben takes Fleur out for a night on the town with Nick and Em. She talks about her upcoming audition to work as a TV weather presenter, a topic which Nick and Em find interesting and ask her several questions about. Ben is jealous of the attention. He visits her the following day, as she works her day job at a Myer makeup counter, and breaks up with her.
Ben's new job for RVB Brands Group involves rebranding the Simpson sportswear brand for young women. Meanwhile, Ben also visits his parents. His mother (Tracy Mann) gifts him a copy of Ernest Hemingway's The Snows of Kilimanjaro. They were under the impression he was planning a trip to Kilimanjaro and are visibly disappointed to learn he will now be travelling to Bali instead. They also are disappointed to learn he has broken up with Steph and do not understand what it is that Ben does for a living.
Ben receives a letter from his former high school, asking him to speak at "Careers Day" about his achievements. He reluctantly decides to attend, and there meets the current school principal (Rob Sitch), Jim (Ed Kavalee) and Alex (Rachael Taylor). Jim has competed in archery at the Olympics, winning a bronze medal. Ben passive-aggressively downplays Jim's achievements, feeling insecure about himself. Alex now works as a human rights lawyer in Yemen for the United Nations and has made the trip back to Melbourne just to address the school. She and Ben were once friends but had lost touch. After high school they went to the University of Melbourne together, but Ben dropped out before graduating.
