NipPierce Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

WakenPayne First of all a little history. Comedic actresses Gina Riley and Jane Turner started out on the sketch comedy team The D-Generation. The comedy was sketchy but they were gaining some kind of identity. Then the show Fast Forward was made. That one was funny but once it gets to the political humour then it all becomes boring. Later these 2 actresses got their money together to film a comedy about lower-middle-class life and It doesn't really work in my opinion.The characters range from 2 different types. They're over-the-top losers, or they're bland. Kath and her husband Kel are pretty much losers that seem to be in love and they do loser-ish things. Kim on the other hand plays a character that quite a few sitcoms think seem to work but I have yet to see that happen - the vain girl who sees herself as a supermodel or something when in reality they're anything but. Brett is just bland and (I guess) seems to be Kim's voice of reason. Sharon is basically an overweight bland girl who plays sport and gets a new injury every episode while the previous one seems to disappear.Basically my one beef with the show is that these characters aren't funny. I guess the idea was to show society in a way that can be laughed at. If that was the idea then I guess the people who will like the show are the ones who know people like this.But the humour then is a little bit off. Kim is told that she's not attractive very few times and could have leaded to a few laughs if it was done more. Most of the time all she does is argue and then sulk about how she hasn't gotten everything she wanted. Kath and Kel I guess are supposed to be laughed at for how pathetic they are and how they wear daggy clothes and other such things. This could be funny for you but - it isn't for me.So in all honesty I can see why this was at a time Australia's most popular show. What people were seeing was a social satire on either themselves or the people they have interacted with. At the end of the day this show solely relies on your taste in humour. So I can see why people like it and other people don't. In my case however, I don't like it.

jcurrie58 I'm completed addicted to this show and am only sorry it has ended its run here in the UK. I'm not Australian so maybe can't recognize all of the cultural points, but still find it amusing. It's not laugh out loud stuff, but I imagine that Australians can recognize the satirical observations more than anyone. I love the ever optimistic Kath and her dreadful wardrobe and the mind-bogglingly selfish Kim.What I can't understand is, why are the Americans making their own version and not screening the original? Is it the accents? Are Americans not capable of understanding any accents other than their own? As Kath says, "look at May, Kim, look at May".

squad68 This show has to be one of the funniest that I have ever seen. All the characters are truly fantastic, especially Kath and Kim - I think this show will become a cult classic.Look at moeeeie, look at moeeeie - I have one word to say about this show - Genius!!!

ntewson I agree with a previous comment on "Kath and Kim". It is the usual satirical show that Australians seem to do best; a healthy ability to laugh at yoursel. The reality of the Australian suburban dream becomes a nightmare as we witness the two heroines zip to the local shopping centre, Fountaingate, in their little Barina. Unfortunately, I suspect that "Kath and Kim" may be short lived. Australian television has a reputation of producing good quality television shows, delivering a season's worth and then suddenly they disappear. If the ABC producers by chance read this comment (they DO surf too surely?) please, please keep this one on air. You have a winner!
