Kath & Kimderella is a 2012 Australian comedy film based on the popular TV show, Kath & Kim. The movie stars the show's creators and lead actors, Jane Turner and Gina Riley, along with Magda Szubanski, who also had a recurring role in the TV series. The film follows Kath Day-Knight and her daughter Kim Craig as they go on a holiday to Italy. The two women have very different expectations for the trip, with Kath hoping for a romantic getaway with her newly-married husband Kel and Kim wanting to find love with an Italian man.

Their plans are derailed when they find themselves transported to the magical kingdom of Papilloma, where Kath is mistaken for the Princess and Kim as her servant. The two get caught up in the royal family's complicated affairs, which include a curse that has befallen the kingdom and a power-hungry villain who wants to seize the throne.

As they navigate their way through this fantastical world, Kath and Kim learn important lessons about family, love, and the importance of being true to oneself. With its over-the-top characters, slapstick humor, and heartwarming moments, Kath & Kimderella is a delightful comedy that will have audiences laughing out loud and cheering for its lovable heroines.

One of the film's strengths is its ability to stay true to the original show's style and humor while also introducing new elements and characters. Fans of the TV series will enjoy seeing familiar faces like Magda Szubanski's Sharon and Glenn Robbins' Kel, while also getting to meet new characters like the handsome Prince Frederico (played by Italian actor, Richard E. Grant) and the conniving Countess Pashmina (played by Rob Sitch).

The film's setting in Italy also adds an extra layer of charm and humor, as Kath and Kim navigate the unfamiliar customs and language of the country. Their attempts at ordering Italian food and speaking the language provide many of the movie's funniest moments.

Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of Kath & Kimderella, however, is its heart. Beneath the silly costumes and ridiculous plot twists is a story about the importance of family and staying true to one's authentic self. In this fantastical world of princesses and curses, Kath and Kim learn that what matters most is the love and support of the people they care about.

Overall, Kath & Kimderella is a fun and heartwarming comedy that successfully translates the popular TV show to the big screen. With its lovable characters, hilarious jokes, and touching moments, it is sure to delight both fans of the original series and newcomers alike.
