Love and Other Catastrophes is a quirky 1996 Australian romantic comedy film featuring Frances O'Connor, Radha Mitchell, Alice Garner, Matthew Dyktynski, Matt Day and Kym Gyngell.

Garner won a Film Critics Circle of Australia award for best supporting actress for her role in the movie.

Obsessed with her favourite lecturer, Mia becomes embroiled in a war of paperwork with the university administration as she attempts to pursue him to his new department.

Alice, a habitual perfectionist, is four years late with her thesis on 'Doris Day as Feminist Warrior'.

Frustrated, she falls for the most unsuitable male possible... Ari (Matthew Dyktynski), a classics student and part-time gigolo.
