Trivia

The 'Wheel of Cheese' incident actually happened. While the writers were visiting various bowls clubs for inspiration, one of them explained the sordid story of a club investigation into a member using the cheese for a sandwich instead of the regulation cheese and biscuits. See more »

Goofs

The 'Flipper', where the bowl curves in both directions, is utterly impossible. See more »

Typical but good
25 November 2002 | by (Sydney, Australia) – See all my reviews

A fairly typical Australian movie where the underdog saves the day inspite of himself. I guess there is no real reason to see this pic if you have seen "The Castle" or "The Dish". It still leaves you with a positive feeling at the end and it as good or better than most Hollywood stuff.
