Ultimately, while 'The Flip Side' appeals to anyone who is interested in how human beings relate to each other and those who have had visitors-from-hell stay, both producer Sue Murray and writer-producer director Marion Pilowsky have emphasized the strong women's appeal of the film. Murray said: "The objective was to make a film that seemed to reflect the thirty something experience in Australia. Particularly from a female perspective, and not the gross-out comedy experience. The comedy is very much a part of it and there's visual comedy as well as verbal comedy. But the heart of the film is actually a drama. And I would say that as we developed the script it became more dramatically comedic than a straight-out comedy, as the characters developed more depth. And then when you get the actors infusing their view of the characters, they really wanted to make these characters people that were worth investing in as an audience, they really wanted us to understand them. When you get that as well, you know you're getting more layers to the film." Pilowsky asserted: "I think this is a film for women that explores what we often can't see but is right in front of us. It might be love or what you're trying to be or do. It would be great if women left this thinking they could give themselves permission to enjoy their lives and be their authentic selves without fear of judgment or abandonment."
