Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

curst_saden So this was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It put me into a Kangaroo and Australia phase for a while. Now that I'm older I watched some of it and I realize it's definitely more of a kid's movie. There's nothing wrong with that, there are many kids movies that are really good, but adults probably won't have much reason to watch this one without kids present. The acting is OK, I realize now that the music is ridiculous (but perfect for the movie) and there are some scenes that are kinda silly or campy. There may be one or two things I would understand better if I was an Australian.Long story short it's an OK movie in the eyes of an adult but it is AMAZING in the eyes of a kid.

IMDb_wanderer I saw this movie three years ago and thought it was terrible. The kid follows a group of thugs from the bush to Sydney, hooks up with the daughter of the new US ambassador to Australia, and it basically goes silly from then on. The scene where he goes with her to get diplomatic immunity was unrealistic, due to the fact that the boy (I refuse to say his name) is not American, and would be turfed out in a second, while the American girl gets immunity. Also, the end of the movie is also stupid, with the thugs turning out to be brainless.If you want to watch it and find it funny, switch off all touches with actual reality, and it may become enjoyable.

BurgerTrippin I wasn't expecting to much from this film on a Sunday afternoon with rain etc. but I was quite surprised. The concept of character saves animals is definitely not original, but I feel the film competes quite well with some of the films that can slip out from Australia. After seeing it once or twice it gets a little tedious, and so do the jokes, even if the film was slightly out of my age group. But the first time I watched it I laughed a little. Even though I had not heard of many actors in the film (if any, given my knowledge on Australian films & TV), they all seemed to be comfortable in their roles. Let's face it, it was never going to be a big successful movie, but I think, given the time, it could definitely help fill up a rainy day.

ausum When you look at casting, you probably won't find great names; but this adventure-comedy flows extremely well without the need of great acting performances. The story is simple and it works because it doesn't take place in USA but in Australia, and also because almost everybody is concerned with the amazing australian kangaroos and its environment. There are great shot compositions, and I suppose its natural to expect more from its director's work.
