Leave your thoughts about The BBQ.
| The AustralianStephen RomeiThere is more character development in this movie than in some I could name that have received multiple Oscar nominations. It made me laugh a lot, too. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Travis Johnson...the latest in Australia's long line of generally affable homegrown comedies... |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesThe BBQ starts with a terrible script and goes downhill from there. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicA personality void dud of a comedy, undercooked in its writing and bland in its delivery. |
| ABC Radio (Australia)Matt NealThe film is abysmal and it all comes down to an absolutely woeful script. |
| Herald Sun (Australia)Leigh PaatschThe new Australian comedy The BBQ is so overwhelmingly bland, you often forget how faintly awful it consistently remains from beginning to end. |
| GuardianLuke BuckmasterJacobson may be the best thing about the director and co-writer Stephen Amis' The BBQ, though that is not the same as saying he comes even remotely close to saving it. |
| 3AWJim SchembriNow, where to begin with how bad this film is? In the interests of brevity, most of the film's woes stem from one main problem: it has no frigging idea what it is trying to do. |
| User ReviewArchibald RThe BBQ is a prime homage to the rich, if not slightly troubled, history of Australian film culture. From the brilliant, comedic mind of director Stephen Amis (The 25th Reich, Virus), comes a film that incorporates star actors, including Sound of Music alumni, and some new, home-grown talents who are able to pull-off the subtle comedy we've come to expect from Australian films. A true credit to the hard working Australian nature, and a laugh for the entire family. |
