A bit slow but a hidden gem. It will definitely make you laugh and feel good by the end of the movie.
A good watch though I actually think its a bit overrated. Amusing quotable lines and plenty of Australiana but nothing too special.
A very nice piece of Australian comedy.
Decent comedy that's pretty basic but I think that the simple characters work well to demonstrate persistence and Australian's mate-ship.
The Kerrigan family is an absolute inspiration. We saw this more than 20 years ago and are delighted to find out it holds up. What a joy.
An Australian cinema classic. Has stood the test of time very well.
Had great story and theme, but too much narration, jokes didn’t land, and very little visual story telling. B-
Who is happy living in the flight path of an airport?
Oddball, slight, quirky australian film. I remember enjoying it but not much about it.
Oz classic that's designed to make you laugh and cringe at the same time. A must watch, even just to understand the cultural significance.
