What happens

This Won't Hurt a Bit is a 1993 Australian comedy film. It was directed by Chris Kennedy. According to Ozmovies, Those searching for the source of inspiration for writer/director and co-producer Chris Kennedy need look no further than his professional life as a dentist, which saw him do time in England practising his skills. It’s perhaps pushing things to say that he dreamed up the idea of revenge on the English while peering into the mouths of his English patients, but his screenplay is filled with knowing nods in this direction.
