Clubland is a 2007 drama film that follows the life of a single mother, Jean Baird, played by Brenda Blethyn, as she raises her two adult children, Tim and Jody, in the suburbs of Adelaide. Jean is a vivacious woman who has a passion for music and performing, but she had to put her dreams aside to raise her children. Tim, played by Khan Chittenden, is a young aspiring stand-up comic who is trying to make it in the entertainment industry, while Jody, played by Emma Booth, is a rebellious teen who is trying to find her own identity.

Jean is excited when she gets a job as a waitress in a local nightclub, Clubland, where she can finally pursue her love for music. Her boss, Steve, played by Richard Wilson, is smitten by her and offers her the chance to perform on stage. Jean's performances are a hit, and she becomes the club's resident singer. However, the job takes a toll on her relationship with her children, especially Jody, who feels neglected by her mother's new job and late-night performances.

Tim starts to question his career choice as a stand-up comic, and he becomes envious of his mother's success. He starts to feel left behind and ignored by his mother, who is focused on her own career. He is also dealing with his own personal issues, including his crush on one of the other comedians at the club, Jill, played by Frankie J. Holden.

Jody, on the other hand, is going through a rebellious phase where she experiments with drugs and starts dating a troubled young man, Jeff, played by Nick Russell. She feels neglected by her family and seeks solace in her relationship with Jeff, who she believes will understand her better than her family ever could.

The film navigates through the complicated family dynamics between Jean, Tim, and Jody, as they try to balance their own personal aspirations with their love for each other. Throughout the film, they face various challenges and obstacles that force them to confront their own insecurities and resolve their differences. Jean learns to prioritize her family and finds a way to balance her passion for music with her responsibilities as a mother. Tim discovers his own unique voice as a comedian and finds success in his own way. Jody learns to make peace with her family and finds a new sense of purpose in life.

Clubland is a heartwarming and emotionally charged film that explores themes of family, love, sacrifice, and self-discovery. The film features powerful performances by Brenda Blethyn, Khan Chittenden, and Emma Booth, who bring the characters to life with their nuanced portrayals.
