I'm sure you have read or will read other reviews on this forum of this movie so I won't go over any old ground except to say that the gun-kata sequences in the film have to be the best of any film ever. Very refreshing.

A very enjoyable movie, probably aimed more at those with a Kiwi/Oz style sense of humor. It may even go over the heads of anyone who has a limited grasp of Kiwi/Oz modern-day culture. So those viewers who find no pleasure in this movie should not try to dissuade those who haven't seen it from checking it out. A bit of blokey fun for those who enjoy a laugh with their mates. Check it out. 9/10

If you have never been to Australia then you might be forgiven for thinking this could be how it really is "Down Under". But for anyone who lives here or has visited, then you know that this movie takes a very large (intentional I hope) swing at Australianisms (just made that word up!). If anyone out there thinks you can drive out of Sydney and be in the outback in anything less than 3 or 4 days (let alone later that day) then you are kidding yourself. Just have a look at the map where Alice Springs is in relation to Sydney, or Coober Pedy for that matter. Having said that and ignoring the blatant overuse of Aussie slang this movie has it's moments and would be sure to give most people a few laughs.

Not the best comedy ever made but worth a look for a family outing
