8/10
Plenty of humour sex and thonging
5 January 2014
This movie is almost as funny as the series, though the movie feels like the series. The movie's story basically has Shazza, who in no way, has lowered her use of profanity, go to Alice to visit her dying mother who left her, many years before. But funds are a bit tight. How the moolah is scored is funny too. The scenes at the mothers house in the dusty aired city are some of he funniest parts, while Frankie is busy outside to trying to rile some wildlife. Some of the situations and mischief that took off after this, with the Housos gang finding themselves in some pretty hot water, minus Frankie, defecating a historical monument, and worked on by some extra terrestrial forces, I liked. Though at the start, it had me at a bit of a worry, as the laughs rang short early, where I only found one or two things funny in the first ten minutes, bit then it got better. With the late Turps gone, we have narrator replacement, we're not surprised to see. I'll give you a hint. A Hey Hey it's Saturday regular, who loves exposure and does has the Midas touch, but not the same powerful volume or narrative skills as Turps, which fitted the trashy series greatly. Fenech is a comedy writing genius and has come through on this. A lot of other side splitting shows lose a lot of their laughs and impact, most of it, practically goes out the window. Not really the case here. I think most Housos's fans will appeased here at the result. It's just not as funny as the series.
