    Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
    XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
    Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
    Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
    medcodepro For whatever odd reason, when I moved to southern California from Colorado as a young man, a majority of my friends and family wound up being Samoan. This is how I was first exposed to bro'Town months ago. Having said that, you really don't need to know much about Samoans ,or New Zealand for that matter, to "get it". In fact, if anything it is the Kiwi accent that requires a little hard listening at times, but well worth it. The humor is exactly what you would expect from 5 pre-pubescent (4 Samoan and 1 Maori) boys, yet is broad and common enough for any adult who actually had a childhood (and still has a sense of humor).bro'Town is silly, irreverent, topical, politically sharp and heart-felt at times, like many of its contemporaries (South Park, Family Guy, The Boondocks etc...) I understand that bro'Town isn't "Waiting for Godot" and I have a hard time believing that the Naked Samoans are trying to emulate Samuel Beckett when writing. But for what it is, purely crafted ½ hour adult pop-culture cartoon comedies for 18-30yo males, it is sublime. My friends and I are still quoting Jeff da Maori, yet we somehow still manage to read books with big words. Hmmmmm.I am anxiously waiting for season 3 at this moment.Morningside for LIFE!
    MarkyMark81 I can't believe this show is doing well back home. I think that this show is the worst thing I have ever seen. Now I'm a fan of South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of The Hill (All shows which critics back home have said is 'New Zealands answer to..') so it's not a matter of taste. It's just stupid.As a part-Samoan, New Zealander I understood when it was TRYING to be funny. But it just wasn't. So it's not a matter of having to be a New Zealander to find humour in it. If you like to laugh at exaggerated stereotypes combined with toilet humour but without the wit of South Park then you will enjoy this.
    cj_sheffy Other comments of this show have been harsh, and undeserved. In my opinion to fully appreciate the humor of this cartoon, you need to either live in New Zealand, or have spent enough time in NZ to understand the type of humor, and the cultural references.While 'brotown' is hardly the most intelligent show on TV, it is funny, entertaining, and most importantly, relevant to events, people and culture within New Zealand.Possibly, this show should not be screened, or viewed outside of New Zealand, as other audiences don't seem to appreciate the type of humor that is demonstrated to it's full extent in 'Brotown'.
    surfing_nuta Bro Town is the Pacific Island version of South Park, which follows the lives of four young Pacific Island boys who live in Morning Side, Auckland, New Zealand. This TV Show is a classic which should be remembered for its one-liners, brilliant characters, and the voices of some of New Zealanders biggest stars. The four boys go through ordinary teenage experiences, including puberty and girls, which leads to dramatic happenings. This show contains stereotypical characters, with appearances from New Zealands news teams and government. This show is definitely one to look out for if you want to have a good laugh. I would like to see this as a movie.
