User Reviews

A great Indigenous Australian comedy! thumbs up!

Well worth watching. Solid acting from the highly talented lead actors, supported by a range of other excellent actors. The plot is not the best but it is great to see an comedy with this subject matter produced in Australia. The movie has amazing dialogue. I found it to be very funny, overall quite entertaining and I would recommend checking it out. For a low budget Australian production it is great! Very well written thumbs up! It tries to be more than just a comedy but I feel it really only works on the one level.

I wish more films like this would be funded, made and produced. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie on TV tonight and it is the second time I have seen it. Including Cheech and Chong style marijuana humor!

Support a low budget film and check it out!
