This seems to be another one of those movies that you can't help but think the reviewers were watching a different movie.
I went to see "The Extra" opening night at the local Hoyts, despite a bad review on Sydney ABC radio 702, and was pleasantly surprised. "The Extra" isn't side splitting, but it is funny. Nice story, good performances, Australian comedians doing what they do best. The good guys are people you can relate to, and the bad guys are people you can laugh at - what could be better?
Best scene(s)? Jimeoin dancing in the gay bar. Scene you could see coming but it didn't matter? The caravan runaway. Wait for the climax at the after party - it delightfully slams home everything Jimeoin was saying about extras being invisible.
Do yourself a favour - go and see it.
